Mackenzie King Scholarships

The Mackenzie King Scholarships were established as an independent trust under the will of the late Rt. Hon. William Mackenzie King (1874-1950). Two classes of Mackenzie King Scholarship are available to graduates of Canadian universities: the Open Scholarship and the Travelling Scholarship. Both are to support graduate study. The Travelling Scholarship is available to graduates of Canadian universities who pursue graduate study in the United States or the United Kingdom in the areas of international or industrial relations. The Open Scholarship is available to graduates of Canadian universities who pursue graduate study in any discipline, in Canada or elsewhere. The primary criterion is the strength of the applicant's university academic record. Personal qualities, demonstrated aptitudes, and the proposed program of study are also taken into account. Applicants must be a graduate (holder of a degree) of a Canadian university when tenure of the scholarship begins.
