Scholarships and Student Finance

The University of Lethbridge offers a wide range of scholarships and awards that can be used to defray your education costs. Awards are granted based on academic achievement and other factors (e.g., financial need, leadership potential, community involvement, artistic ability). In most cases, to be considered for scholarships and awards you must apply using the online application:

• Log in to the Bridge
• Click Registrar’s Office and Student Services
• Click Apply for Scholarships
• Fill out the awards applications that are applicable to you and click submit

For policies, procedures, and a description of all awards, refer to the University of Lethbridge Calendar.

If you will require financial aid, you should apply prior to the semester in which assistance will be required. Processing an application for government student loans can take six to eight weeks. You should apply for a student loan even if you have not yet registered for your classes. Contact Scholarships and Student Finance for assistance when completing the application.

Please read the enclosures when you receive your loan certificates (by mail). Some loan certificates may be automatically confirmed as well as tuition for the current semester committed to be paid from the loan. If you have a confirmed loan certificate, the next step for you is to take the loan certificate with government issued picture ID, Social Insurance Number card, and banking information to a designated Post Office. Unconfirmed loan certificates must be brought to Scholarships and Student Finance to be processed (the confirmation of enrolment section must be completed by the school before you can receive the loan).

Application forms are available for pickup at Scholarships and Student Finance, or if you would like an application mailed to you, contact the Provincial Student Assistance Office in the province of which you are a resident. Many of the provinces now have their applications available online and can be accessed through www.uleth.ca/ross/student_finance/loans.html .
