External Awards are awards offered through organizations or institutions other than the University of Lethbridge. The application process is specific to each organization, and applications for these awards are not available through the uLethbridge scholarships program. Some are based on academic merit, but many of them will be based on other criteria such as financial need, volunteer work, community involvement, leadership experience, etc. Finding these awards involves some work on your part, but it can really pay off in the end.
