Vancouver Island Compassion Society Cannabis and Psychedelic Studies Scholarship

One or more scholarships of $5,000 each are awarded to graduate students whose research is focused on therapeutic or medically beneficial applications for cannabis or psychedelics and/or increasing access to medical cannabis or psychedelics (increased access via cost-coverage, stigma reduction, etc.). The scholarship is renewable for the duration of the graduate degree, up to a maximum of four years, as long as the student is making good academic progress in the same degree. Students may apply via the online graduate scholarship application between July 1st and September 15th. Approval of the recipient(s) will be made by the Faculty of Graduate Studies Graduate Awards Committee. The minimum requirement for consideration is an A- average and any additional criteria established by the donor. Applicants must be full-time graduate students at the University of Victoria. Please note that for 2024, no new scholarships will be awarded.
