Student Awards

Investing in You! As a student, money can be one of the main barriers between you, and the education you need. Every year, NLC distributes thousands of dollars in Student Awards to deserving students. Student Awards can help you take advantage of these awards and other funding opportunities. We can provide you with help and information on student loans, grants, awards, and other external sources.

If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to Contact our Student Awards Administrator: awards@northernlakescollege.ca or read more about Student Awards in the 2023-2024 Student Awards Program Brochure.

We understand that funding your post-secondary education can be a challenge. Through the generosity of many individuals, companies, and associations, we are proud to offer a number of financial awards to our students. Awards may be given based on financial need, academic achievement, community involvement, leadership or extra-curricular activities. The award may also be a combination of a scholarship, bursary or a prize.
