What is the Augsbury / North Country Scholarship?
The Augsbury/North Country Scholarship is a financial award, initiated in 1974,
to recognize academic and co-curricular leadership among designated North Country
and Canadian high school students. These students have demonstrated leadership,
community service, and a strong academic commitment, as well as a sincere desire
to attend St. Lawrence University. This prestigious scholarship includes a $20,000
annual merit scholarship and a very competitive financial aid package if a scholar
has demonstrated financial need greater than the amount of the scholarship. It
is expected that Augsbury/North Country Scholars will maintain a minimum cumulative
3.0 grade point average throughout their four years at St. Lawrence. If a student
is nominated for the scholarship, and is admitted but is not designated an
Augsbury/North Country Scholar, a minimum scholarship of $10,000 will be awarded,
regardless of financial need.
Who is eligible to nominate potential Augsbury / North Country Scholars?
The scholarship is available to students attending 105 high schools. Sixteen
Canadian schools (in Ontario and Quebec)and eighty-nine New York high schools
located in the area we designate as the North Country are eligible to submit
nominees for this scholarship. The list of eligible schools can be found here.
