Up to 20 Trudeau Scholarships are awarded each year to support doctoral students pursuing research in one or more of the four themes: Human Rights and Dignity, Responsible Citizenship, Canada in the World and People and their Natural Environment. Trudeau Scholars are highly gifted individuals who are actively engaged in their fields and expected to become leading national and international figures.  The University of British Columbia can nominate up to 4 candidates to the national competition.

Value: $40,000 stipend plus up to $20,000 research and travel allowance per year for three years

UBC applicant deadline: 11:59pm PST on Friday, December 13, 2019

Please note that there is no graduate program nomination process. Applicants submit their application via the Trudeau Foundation online portal by the application deadline, after which the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies will convene an adjudication committee composed of UBC faculty members to review applications and select UBC’s nominees to the national competition.
