Scholarships and Award

$15,000/year for 2 years to a Master’s level student specializing in research related to Veterans and their families.

Canada provides our military with the best training and equipment in the world, but we must also ensure that these soldiers return home with ample supports in place as they potentially face a "new battlefield" of challenges. These challenges may include physical and mental injuries, or social challenges as Veterans reintegrate into family and community life. These support systems must be based on research evidence from the best and brightest Canada has to offer.

To this end, The Royal Canadian Legion is proud to offer this annual entrance scholarship to a master’s level student specializing in research related to Veterans and their families. Students will be funded $15,000 each year for two years.

One scholarship awarded annually to a PhD candidate who demonstrates excellence in their proposed research while exhibiting significant potential for a high impact career in a military, Veteran and family health research.

More Canadian research is needed to address the health and well-being issues over the life-course of individuals and families of those who serve and have served, as related to occupational exposures, experiences and environment. These may include health consequences - physical, mental and social - that are unique in their nature, magnitude, long-term effects, delayed presentation, and trans-generational implications. Preference is given to students studying at one of CIMVHR’s member universities; to Canadian students; and/or to reservists, where applicable.
