Your research must be linked to one of the Foundation’s four themes: Human Rights and Dignity, Responsible Citizenship, Canada and the World, and People in their Natural Environment. Details about the four themes can be found on the Foundation’s website.
Canadian and non-Canadian students may apply.
Application overview
You may apply via the Trudeau Foundation’s website once the 2022 competition launches in October 2021.
Dalhousie University representatives may be asked to review applications to confirm students’ academic standing and other credentials. If you are planning to apply for the scholarship, it is advised that you first consult with your graduate coordinator and/or supervisor before starting your application to discuss your suitability.
The final decision on successful applicants will be made by the Foundation. Applicants are chosen from institutions across Canada, and Dalhousie University is not guaranteed to have a scholarship recipient.
