Elliott Trudeau Foundation invites applications from postgraduate students to the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Doctoral Scholarship in Canada Pennsylvania.
The Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholarship program is a highly competitive program. This three-year leadership program is to train Engaged Leaders, equipping outstanding doctoral candidates with the skills to translate their ideas into action, for the betterment of their communities, Canada, and the world. Scholars are selected each year and receive leadership training in the context of Brave Spaces, in addition to generous funding for their studies.
The theme of our 2023-2026 Scientific Cycle will be Canada in the World. This theme will contextualize the leadership training offered to the 2023 cohort of Scholars. Please note that Scholars’ studies need not be directly related to this theme; Scholars are not selected based on their expertise with respect to the theme of the Scientific Cycle, but rather on their interest and capacity to embark on this leadership journey within this context. This innovative model aims to help Scholars look beyond their areas of expertise and develop their engagement with issues and ideas that are not necessarily part of their academic training.
