Trudeau Foundation PhD Scholarship is now open for applications from suitably qualified students. It is a fully funded scholarship for all students sponsored by the Trudeau Foundation.
About the Scholarship
The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is an independent and non-partisan charity established in 2001 as a living memorial to the former prime minister.
The Trudeau Foundation represents much more than a Scholarship.
The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholarship Program will help shape researchers into engaged leaders who are conscious of the impact of their research, connected to the realities of the communities in which they work, and open to non-conventional forms of knowledge.
The Foundation is seeking candidates who are audacious, original, and forward-thinking.
