Bioscience scholarship ties eligibility criteria to immigration status, identity
Federal funding mandates are driving race- and identity-based criteria into life sciences scholarships and hiring pipelines, tying career opportunities to government program priorities.
The I.D.E.A.L. Scholarship, which offers $10,000 to selected recipients ($5,000 for CEGEP students), is open to students entering their first year of a bioscience-related program.
Applicants must also identify as “Indigenous,” “Persons with Disability,” or a “Newcomer to Canada (less than 5 years).”
