Mackenzie King Open Scholarship

The Mackenzie King Scholarships were established as an independent trust under the will of the late Rt. Hon. William Lyon Mackenzie King (1874-1950). This is a national competition with one scholarship awarded annually to graduate students of Canadian universities. The scholarship supports students planning to commence or continue full-time postgraduate studies in any field, in Canada or elsewhere. Selection is based on high academic achievements (all A's or very nearly so), personal qualities and demonstrated aptitudes, with consideration also given to the applicant's proposed program of study. The scholarship provides $13,000 in funding support for graduate students pursuing advanced studies.
