Department Scholarships

Langara College scholarships and awards are intended to recognize and support the outstanding achievement of our students. Scholarship and award recipients must satisfy all criteria specified by a donor, unless the donor agrees to waive those criteria.  

  • The following are the criteria for Departmental Scholarships:
    • be a full-time Regular Studies student in the semester for which the scholarship or award will be received;
    • currently registered in a minimum of 9 credits and in a minimum of 9 credits in one of the past two semesters;
    • enrolled in at least their second semester of study;
    • must be in good standing at the College;
    • have a cumulative GPA of 3.00 or higher;
    • meet any additional scholarship criteria specified by a donor; these can be found under the scholarship name on our website;
    • most Departmental Scholarships do not require applications and students are selected by recommendation by program Faculty when they meet the specific scholarship criteria. If applications are required, please check with the specific Department Chair of the program. 

Students with a registered disability with Accesibility Services or StudentAid BC require to be registered in a minimum of 6 credits instead of 9 credits to be eligible for scholarships.

Part-time students enrolled in 6 to 8 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.

Split enrollment students who are also enrolled at other institutions must have 9 credits at Langara to meet the requirement.
