Garfield Weston Foundation, these annual awards are some of the most prestigious in the country for students pursuing a master’s degree, Ph.D. or postdoctoral fellowship. More than 300 awards have been provided to over 270 early-career researchers since the program's inception, forming a community of Weston Family Northern Scientists who are at the forefront of northern scholarship and who are helping shape a better future for Canada and the world.

 Number, Value and Duration of Scholarships: In the 2020-2021 program year, The W. Garfield Weston Foundation will support:

Up to fifteen (15) awards for master’s level students. Each award is valued at $15,000 over one (1) year.

Up to ten (10) awards for doctoral students. Each award is valued at $50,000 over two (2) years.

Up to four (4) awards for postdoctoral fellows. Each award is valued at $100,000 over two (2) years + up to $10,000 per year for travel and conference expenses, with funding in the second year contingent upon acceptable progress in the proposed area of research in the first year.
