University of Laval Charles-de Koninck Doctoral Scholarship 2025

Financially support students preparing a full-time doctoral thesis to be defended at the Faculty of Philosophy at Université Laval.

The main donor, Monsignor Alphonse-Marie Parent, wanted to honour with these scholarships the memory of the philosopher Charles De Koninck, former professor (1934-1965) and dean (1939-1956; 1964-1965) of this Faculty. The Fund of the Chair Philosophy in the Current World also contributes to the funding of the scholarships, as does the Fondation de l'Université Laval, which dedicates certain special donations to them.
