At Laurier, we recognize the success of our co-op students with awards such as the Co-op Student of the Year Award.
In addition, we also provide funding opportunities through award programs such as the Menich and AUS Awards.
If you’ve made outstanding contributions to your co-op employer, it’s possible that you are eligible for the Co-op Student of the Year Award, which recognizes deserving co-op students for their exceptional achievements. Nominations take place at the end of the winter semester, and students are awarded early in the new year.
Nominees should demonstrate a contribution to the Laurier community, have an exceptional academic standing and have made a positive impact on their co-op workplace.
To be considered for the Co-op Student of the Year Award:
Please reach out to your co-op coordinator to receive more information and the application process.
All employers will receive an invitation to nominate a student.
