Benefits

The contribution of the Bishop’s University Foundation has allowed for the creation of this program to an amount of $10,000 per stipend, with $7,500 from the institution and $2,500 from the proposed thesis supervisor. The scholarship is admissible for renewal for a second year upon evaluation of the student’s progress. The Graduate Entrance Subcommittee accepts submissions throughout the year and dispenses funds on a first come, first served basis.
