Fly a Finalist to Nationals!

*Please note that our 2023-2024 "Fly a Finalist to Nationals" campaign ended on February 23rd, 2024. Any donations received after this date will be allocated to our 2024-2025 campaign.

The search for our 35th cohort of Loran Scholars is currently in full swing. Following our successful return to in-person National Selections last year, we eagerly anticipate the opportunity to bring together this year's 90 Finalists from all corners of the country to Toronto in February 2024 for a weekend of insightful interviews – and we need your help to turn this opportunity into a reality.

One round-trip ticket to Toronto is between 25,000 - 60,000 Aeroplan points. To bring together these 90 exceptional youth from across Canada for our National Selections weekend, our goal is to raise 500,000 Aeroplan points to help offset the cost of flights. Point donations will be generously matched by Aeroplan, up to 500,000 points!

National Selections is not only an opportunity to interview to become a Loran Scholar—it's a transformative experience for finalists, fostering personal growth, self-discovery, and lifelong connections with community-minded youth from across the country. Finalists also benefit from the Finalists Forum, where they receive workshops on essential topics like University 101 and Personal Finance.

“Being from a very small town, I'd had virtually no exposure to communities such as the Loran Scholars Foundation before I clicked submit on my application, and I was still unaware of the journey I'd embarked on until the day I completed my semi-final interviews. I knew Loran had made an impact on me forever and regardless of the outcome, I was satisfied that I'd learned deeply about myself as an individual and made connections that would last. To hear that I would attend National Selections in February felt unbelievable, and the experience was just that.”
