Langara Students’ Union (LSU) has contributed over $100,000 this year towards financial awards for LSU members and that amount grows every year! Listed here are the bursaries, awards and scholarships you should know about. All of our bursaries, scholarships and awards are available to international and domestic students that meet the award criteria. LSU’s bursaries, awards and scholarships are administered through the Langara College Financial Aid Office, so you must apply there. Langara College offers many more bursaries, awards and scholarships in addition to those listed here. For more information contact the Financial Aid Office at 604-323-5376 or visit www.langara.bc.ca/student-services/financial-aid.
Awards are non-repayable financial awards given to domestic or international students based on a combination of financial need and exemplary service. Unlike a bursary where financial need is the main requirement, awards require that the applicant demonstrate “merit,” in other words, service to others through volunteering or playing a leadership role in the college community or among their peers. Applications are necessary for awards. Remember to pay close attention to the posted deadlines. Applications may be obtained at the Langara College Financial Aid Department.

Scholarships are financial awards given to students with excellent or top Cumulative Grade Point Averages (CGPA). There are two types of LSU scholarships that differ according to the criteria for award. Departmental scholarships are given to the student with the top CGPA and the nomination comes from the department or faculty so no application is required by the student. LSU general scholarships require a minimum CGPA of 3.0, require application by the student, and also have a “merit” component such as volunteerism or student leadership. General Scholarship recipients are chosen by a selection committee.
The LSU donates money to Langara College who then allots them to the different scholarship categories to which it will contribute towards and award to the deserving candidates.
