Scholarships in Food Insecurity

The Centre provides scholarships that recognize the contribution of David Emerson, Wallace McCain, Purdy Crawford and W. Geoffrey Beattie as past Chairs of the Maple Leaf Foods' Board of Directors. Four scholarships will be awarded in the summer of 2025 for research spanning up to two years in length. The scholarships are available to master's or PhD students of any discipline enrolled at a Canadian university who are in good academic standing and entering their second or third year of post-graduate study. Students must be conducting thesis research that seeks to fill gaps in knowledge on food insecurity. A Research Sub-Committee of the Centre's Board reviews all applications and makes recommendations to the Centre's Board Chair for approval.
