Lorraine Allison Memorial Scholarship

Eligibility

Lorraine Allison Memorial Scholarship, with an application deadline in January, offers one award in the amount of $3000.

Description

The Lorraine Allison Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a graduate student enrolled at a Canadian university in a program of study related to northern issues. Northern is defined as locations that lie north of the southern limit of the discontinuous permafrost zone. Candidates in biological science fields will be preferred, but social science topics will also be considered. Scholars from Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are encouraged to apply. The Scholarship Committee looks for applicants who best address academic excellence; demonstrated commitment to northern research; and desire for research results to be beneficial to northerners, especially Native northerners. A brief description of the proposed research, including a clear hypothesis, relevance, title and statement of the purpose of the research, the area and type of study, the methodology and plan for evaluation of findings must be submitted. Any collaborative relationship or work should be briefly identified. Three reference letters are also required. We prefer that applications are submitted online but applications can also be submitted through email. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
