This award will support scholars in universities or research institutes in the European countries to undertake short term research, including collaborative research, contributing to the understanding of bilateral and multilateral relations between Canada and the countries of the European countries. The award will assist with direct costs related to the research project, and, when a research trip to Canada is warranted, will provide assistance towards international airfare and a weekly flat rate allowance for a period not exceeding five weeks.

Awards may be granted for:

1. Research projects related to Canada and Europe relations, either with the region as a whole, or any part thereof. Although we welcome applications from all disciplines lending themselves most readily to Canadian Studies course development we are particularly interested in projects that have policy relevance for Canada and Canada’s foreign policy. Topics that are highly relevant to Canada’s foreign policy include Democracy & Rule of Law, Economic Development and Prosperity, Environment, Managing Diversity, North American Partnership, Peace and Security.
2. Interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary studies; or
3. Comparative studies with substantial Canadian content (33% or more);

Priority may be given to projects, which relate Canada’s foreign policy; or contemporary situations and issues which illuminate options for future developments; or which focus on Canada’s bilateral relations.

Awards will be available to scholars and researchers from all European countries. Applications are to be submitted by the designated principal researcher, with the official endorsement of his/her institution.

The Canada-Europe Award will consist of a grant in the amount of up to CAD $10,000, based on the analysis of the proposed budget needed to do the research.

The Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarship

The Trudeau Foundation Doctoral Scholarship is tenable for three years. During their third year, Trudeau Scholars may apply for a thesis writing scholarship or a postdoctoral scholarship, for a fourth year of financing. The Scholarship of up to $180,000 consists of two distinct financial categories:

(1) an annual stipend of $40,000, which is intended to cover the cost of tuition and reasonable living expenses. If a Trudeau Scholar concurrently holds other scholarships or fellowships that allow for the accumulation of awards, and if the total value of those external awards exceeds $10,000, the Foundation will subtract the amount over $10,000 from the $40,000 annual stipend.
(2) an annual travel allowance of $20,000, which is available to support research-related travel and to cover networking expenses associated with the Foundation's Public Interaction program

Far beyond a financial assistance, the Trudeau Scholarship offers award winners the opportunity to interact with an exciting community of leaders and committed individuals in every field of the social sciences and humanities.

Since the beginning of the program in 2003, the Foundation has awarded 100 Trudeau Doctoral Scholarships.

Selection Criteria and Guidelines

The assessment of nominees for Trudeau Scholarships focuses on the following criteria:

(1) academic achievement at the level of the most competitive scholarship programs worldwide;
(2) an outstanding ability to engage in lively exchange with other researchers and scholars; and
(3) the intention to work in an area related to one or more of the four themes of the Foundation, and a desire to contribute to public dialogue around those themes.


Selection Process

Trudeau Scholars are selected through a process that involves nomination by a university, internal and external review and selection panels, an interview, and the formal approval of the Board of Directors.

The Scholars are announced each year during the month of June.
