  • must be in good standing at the College;

  • meet any additional scholarship criteria specified by a donor; these can be found under the scholarship name on our website;
  • most general scholarships do not require applications and students are selected from the general student body based on the strength of their transcript. If applications are required, they can be obtained on the Financial Aid website or by emailing finaid@langara.ca.

Students with a registered disability with Accessibility Services or StudentAid BC require to be registered in a minimum of six credits instead of nine credits to be eligible for scholarships.

Part-time students enrolled in six to eight Regular Studies credits in the semester for which the scholarship or award will be received, and in at least one of the past two semesters, may receive scholarships and awards if the donor has directed a portion or all of a fund to part-time students or for departmental scholarships, where the department demonstrates exceptional circumstances, such as high program enrolment of part-time students.
