The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation is offering doctoral researchers the opportunity to carry out their doctoral studies and research in Social Sciences and Humanities for the 2024/2025 academic sessions at any Canadian University of choice.
The scholarship offering will last for three years and will support the researcher’s doctoral studies by providing stipend, research and travel allowance. The Trudeau Foundation scholarship will provide the scholar the opportunity to receive a mandatory leadership training from the Foundation’s mentors, who are leaders in the public, private and non-profit sectors in their first year of studies. The second year will see scholars work with mentors and fellows to collaboratively plan and participate in a public conference with a flexible pattern to be led by the Scholars. In the third year of the program, scholars will be involved in information dissemination and continuously work with Mentors and Fellows to share the lessons learnt over their term with the Foundation.
Benefits
- Membership in a vibrant community of Scholars, Mentors, and Fellows, all of whom are leaders in their respective disciplines and sectors
- Leadership training from our Mentors and Fellows, including unique experiential learning opportunities that enrich and complement their academic experience
- Opportunities to acquire greater proficiency in Canada’s official languages (French and English) as well as Indigenous languages
- Lifelong membership in the Foundation’s alumni network.
- Up to $40,000 per year for three years to cover tuition and reasonable living expenses to focus on their doctoral studies and the Foundation’s leadership program
- Up to $20,000 per year for three years, for the learning of languages (see below), for travel and accommodations for the Foundation’s leadership program and for research, networking, and travel related to their doctoral research
