Royal Canadian Legion Masters Scholarship in Veteran Health Research

The Royal Canadian Legion offers this annual entrance scholarship to support Master's level students specializing in research related to Veterans and their families. Canada provides our military with the best training and equipment in the world, but must also ensure that soldiers return home with ample supports in place as they potentially face a 'new battlefield' of challenges. These challenges may include physical and mental injuries, or social challenges as Veterans reintegrate into family and community life. The scholarship provides $15,000 annually for two years to support full-time Master's students conducting research that considers the unique context of military service over the life course and that is of potential importance to improving the physical, mental health or well-being of Veteran or other populations and their families. Applicants must demonstrate a high level of quality in proposed research methodology, excellent analytical and writing skills, and significant potential for a high-impact research proposal in this relevant area.
