Pierre Elliott Trudeau Scholarship in Canada 2025
The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation offers a very great scholarship for students in their final semester of Master's studies or working towards a PhD in areas of humanities, social sciences, or human sciences. It targets those students whose research is concerned with issues relating to human rights, responsible citizenship, the country's place in the world, and relations between people and their setting.
Generous scholarships are available to enroll and support students to have up to $50,000 per year in financial support for three years to cover any tuition fees as well as other expenses of living. Scholarships include $20,000 a year for three years to support the scholars for the research, networking, and travel related to the scholarly work. Scholars are motivated to develop a good level of linguistic ability in both official languages of Canada.
This will give one beyond just financial aid. The opportunity to work with mentors and other fellows means lots of hands-on learning time to enhance academic growth. Scholars also enter the network of over 500 alumni whose successes reflect the worth of this award. Candidates apply for any Canadian student, as well as international students, studying at Canadian universities. The deadline to apply is November 25, 2024.
