Ever since its inception, the Foundation has supported Scholars’ research in areas that are fundamental to the advancement of Canada and Canadian society. Cutting-edge research helps to strengthen Canada’s role in the world and to place our universities at the top of international rankings.
What sets us apart
What truly sets the Foundation's scholarship program apart from other doctoral scholarship in Canada is that it goes far beyond mere financial support: It means being part of a community of over 500 alumni and opportunities to learn from both academic and non-academic role models, with the aim of diversifying their training and professional activities.
The Foundation brings together three groups of recipients: scholarship, fellowship and mentorship recipients. These exceptional leaders work together to find concrete solutions to key issues of our time.
Fellowship
Outstanding professors distinguishing themselves by their academic career and their public intellectual engagement
Mentorship
Distinguished professionals sharing their experience acquired outside the academic world
Selection Process
Each scholarship, fellowship and mentorship recipient is selected following a rigorous, months-long selection process, based on the recommendations of members of the independent Application and Nomination Review Committee (ANRC).
