Loran Scholars Qualities

The Loran Scholars Foundation awards many young people with awards every single year. The foundation gives up to 32 students the Loran Award as well as, about 94 other awards. The Loran Award grants a student with $100,000 over the four years of their degree, which also includes summer internships, mentorship and a network for students to be a part of.
