Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarships

The renewed Scholarship program of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is a gateway for courageous, bold, original thinkers who are hungry to play a leadership role in their communities. The Foundation's three-year program aims to train Engaged Leaders, in order to build the capacity for academics to make their research accessible beyond academia, to partner and work with a diversity of actors across society, and to help address some of the most pressing domestic and global issues of direct relevance for the future of Canada. The scholarship provides up to $40,000 per year for three years to cover tuition and reasonable living expenses, and up to $20,000 per year for three years as a research and travel allowance. Applicants must be in a full-time doctoral program in the humanities or human sciences, with research related to at least one of the Foundation's four central themes: Human Rights and Dignity, Responsible Citizenship, Canada and the World, People and their Natural Environment.
