Loran Scholars Foundation

Founded in 1988, the Loran Scholars Foundation identifies and supports promising young Canadians who demonstrate character, commitment to service in the community and leadership potential. Each Loran Scholar receives a renewable undergraduate scholarship valued at more than $100,000 over four years, including mentorship, funding for summer work experiences and tuition waivers from our 25 partner universities. As a privately funded charity, we are fortunate to benefit from the support of several hundred donors and volunteers throughout Canada, the United States and the wider world. More than 91% of our alumni have given back to the foundation. * Financial Post Top 25 Charity of the Year (#1 in Education) Formerly known as the Canadian Merit Scholarship Foundation, the Loran Scholars Foundation changed its name in 2014.
