The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation's mission is to support the advancement of outstanding, cutting-edge PhD students, researchers and public intellectuals. Our goal is to position the Scholars, Fellows, and Mentors to have meaningful impacts in their communities, institutions and beyond.
Empowering tomorrow's leaders
In addition to offering generous financial support, the Foundation's program, unique in Canada, is a real springboard for bold, forward-thinking doctoral students who want to make an impact in their communities and institutions.
Surrounded by Fellows and Mentors, the Scholars will develop, over their three years with the Foundation, the skills they need to push academic boundaries and enrich their doctoral journey, turning their ideas into action for the betterment of communities, Canada and the world.

Creating a unique community
Together, the Scholars, Fellows, Mentors, and alumni form a unique community of academics and leaders who come together to explore new ideas, themes, and horizons.
To become a Scholar of the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is more than anything an honor and a privilege. I also think that it is an incredible opportunity to be able to connect with both a historical and an incredibly contemporary diverse network of scholars, academics, of professionals across multiple different sectors, and to really be able to have the opportunity to bring critical light to some of the most pressing issues that are happening in Canada.
