The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholarship Program will help shape researchers into engaged leaders who are conscious of the impact of their research, connected to the realities of the communities in which they work, and open to non-conventional forms of knowledge. The Foundation is seeking candidates who are audacious, original, and forward-thinking. The Scholarship includes a stipend, and a research and travel allowance.
NEW THIS YEAR! Interested students apply directly to the Foundation. In the past, universities selected a shortlist of nominees, a step that will no longer be part of the process in 2021.
The deadline for students to apply directly to the Foundation is January 5, 2021 11:59pm EST
