$25,000 each year for two years to a doctoral student demonstrating excellence in a high impact research career relevant to military, Veteran and their families’ health.
The Legion National Foundation Masters Scholarship. The goal of this scholarship is to train a future generation of researchers to address a shortfall in research related to the life course of Veterans. Canada provides our military with the best training and equipment in the world, but we must also ensure that when these soldiers return home to the “new battlefield” of challenges, due to physical and mental injuries or the social challenges of reintegrating into family and community life, that they are provided with the same level of support.
$15,000 each year for two years to a Master’s level student specializing in research related to Veterans and their families.
