These experiences help students connect classroom learning to future careers.

These competitions offer hands-on experience and exposure to career pathways in skilled trades and technology.

loran scholars foundation - scholar award

Congratulations to..............

Charlotte Bolduc

who has been named a Loran Scholar.

This year, the Loran Scholars Foundation selected 36 exceptional youth from more than 6,000 applicants who have demonstrated they have embraced the challenge of leaving the world better than they found it. As graduating high school and Cégep students, the pursuits and

accomplishments of the newest Loran Award recipients are exemplary, but it is their values-driven approach to leading and their dedication to uplifting their communities that distinguish them as Loran Scholars.

Loran firmly believes empowering values-driven youth is the key to a brighter future for us all. Looking beyond marks, our mission is to find young people with character—those who display the courage to push boundaries and challenge the status quo, a commitment to service that improves the lives of others, and who have intrinsic leadership potential.

Loran Scholars benefit from a four-year, comprehensive leadership-enrichment program, tuition waivers at one of 25 university partners, financial support, and a network of values-driven peers and mentors—unlike anything else offered in this country.

The Loran Award is Canada’s largest and most comprehensive undergraduate award, granted to young people on the basis of character, commitment to service in their community, and leadership potential.
