Applications are being accepted for the Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation Scholarship and Leadership Program, which promotes the development of Engaged Leadership skills through a three-year program centered on curriculum taught by Fellows and Mentors in settings that take Scholars outside of the traditional university setting.
This three-year leadership program is intended to train Engaged Leaders, providing excellent PhD candidates with the abilities to put their ideas into action for the benefit of their communities, Canada, and the world. Scholars are chosen each year and receive leadership training in the context of Brave Spaces, as well as financial funding for their studies.
