Visit funder's website →Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships was a prestigious scholarship program from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research that helped Canadian institutions attract highly qualified doctoral students with awards of $50,000 per year for three years of doctoral study. Named after Major-General Georges P. Vanier, the program evaluated candidates on three equally weighted criteria: Academic Excellence, Research Potential, and Leadership.
The program is now closed and applicants are directed to the new Canada Graduate Research Scholarship – Doctoral program under the harmonized Canada Research Training Awards Suite. Previously, eligible candidates were Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and international students in natural sciences, engineering, and social sciences and humanities, nominated by a Canadian institution with an allocated quota.
