The maximum Scholarship amount was £4,000 (about $8,000), which covers about seven months of accommodation cost.

The London Goodenough Association of Canada invites applications for scholarships in support of graduate study in London, England for the 2008-2009 academic year. The LGAC awards Scholarships towards the cost of accommodation at Goodenough College, the pre-eminent residential college for international graduate students in London. The LGAC is an association of Canadian former students who lived in the College’s residences.

Dear Friends,

It is an honour to be writing to you for the first time as Chair of the London Goodenough Association of Canada. Having been involved with the organization for a number of years as a Board member, I have enjoyed being part of an exciting period of growth and expansion for the LGAC, and have had the pleasure of working with, and meeting, a truly outstanding group of Canadians. It has also been extremely rewarding meeting some of our Scholarship winners from the past several years, and learning of their successes at Goodenough College, and beyond. I look forward to seeing more alumni at LGAC events, and to working with our very enthusiastic Board members throughout my term as Chair.

Remember what it was like to say goodbye to London? The LGAC wants to make the transition home a little easier and is pleased to introduce the WELCOME HOME NETWORK.
