Young MINDS Initiative

As part of its efforts to foster the next generation of defence and security scholars, MINDS has established a grant category – the Young MINDS Initiative – to support undergraduate and master's students interested in defence and security. The initiative provides funding to students enrolled in an undergraduate or master's program at an accredited university, pursuing a degree in a field that is broadly relevant to defence and security studies. Applicants should be sponsored by a professional academic or recognized expert in the field. This program is offered through Canada's Department of National Defence MINDS (Mobilizing Insights in Defence and Security) program.
