The new Lassonde Scholarship, endowed by Canadian mining entrepreneur and philanthropist Pierre Lassonde, is one of the most generous awards available for the students who can demonstrate the traits of a “Renaissance Engineer” of the future – creativity, passion, ingenuity, rational thinking and confidence – in all aspects of their life including academic pursuits, extracurricular activities and their own interests.
The award is for $10,000-$20,000 per year, and is renewable for three additional years of study at the Lassonde School of Engineering. That's a total scholarship of up to $80,000!
The scholarship is available to any high school student applying to an engineering program at York University who have demonstrated academic excellence and leadership. The deadline for applications is February 1, 2013 and students are asked to apply through the Student Financial Profile. Students do not need an offer of admission to apply!
About The Scholarship
Canadian Schulich Leader Scholarships are undergraduate scholarships for students intending to enroll in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) areas of study at a minimum of one of the 20 selected universities.
All Canadian high schools, secondary schools and Cégeps (in Quebec) may submit one Schulich Leader Nominee each. Schulich Leader Nominees are selected by their individual schools and must possess at least two of three criteria:
- Outstanding community, business or entrepreneurial leadership
- Academic excellence
- Financial need
Once Schulich Leader Nominees are verified, they can apply their nomination to the participating universities in Canada where they intend to submit formal applications for undergraduate study for Fall 2013. Formal applications for undergraduate study must be submitted by each Schulich Leader Nominee no later than March 1, 2013.
All participating universities are responsible for selecting the Schulich Leaders for their respective institution. In 2013, 40 Canadian Schulich Leaders will be selected – two Schulich Leaders at each participating university.
Each undergraduate scholarship is valued at $60,000 CAD. The scholarship is distributed during each Schulich Leader’s term of undergraduate study and will start with the academic year commencing in Fall 2013.
Schulich Leader Scholarships are part of a $100 million gift in perpetuity on behalf of UJA Federation of Greater Toronto and the Seymour Schulich Foundation.
*In addition to the Canadian program, Schulich Leader Scholarships is being carried out at five participating universities in Israel.

(established by the Board in 1983)
The Dufferin-Peel Roman Catholic District School Board established the Joe Hugel Award in honour of its first Director of Education. The award was given to a grade 10 student because government funding of the school system was limited to this grade in its early beginning.
