Competition Announcement: Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarship

Up to 15 Trudeau Scholarships are awarded nationally each year to support doctoral candidates pursuing research of compelling present-day concern, touching upon one or more of the four themes of the Foundation (Human Rights and Dignity, Responsible Citizenship, Canada in the World, and People and Their Natural Environment). Trudeau Scholars are highly gifted individuals who are actively engaged in their fields and expected to become leading national and international figures.

The Scholars are announced each year during the month of June. The deadline to apply is October 15, 2011.

* (1) An annual stipend of $40,000, which is intended to cover the cost of tuition and reasonable living expenses. If a Trudeau Scholar concurrently holds other scholarships or fellowships that allow for the accumulation of awards, and if the total value of those external awards exceeds $10,000, the Foundation will subtract the amount over $10,000 from the $40,000 annual stipend. (2) an annual travel allowance of $20,000, which is available to support research-related travel and to cover networking expenses associated with the Foundation's Public Interaction program.
