    Trudeau Graduate Scholarships in Humanities & Social Sciences

    Attn: Canadian Students

    Each year, the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation rewards outstanding Canadian doctoral students who are enrolled (in their first or second year) or about to be enrolled in a social sciences and humanities program and who are doing research in areas related to our four themes. This award, the most prestigious of its type in Canada, has continuously attracted the very best scholars in the social sciences and humanities, individuals with a passion for public engagement and who are likely to become leading national and international figures.
