Take advantage of this funding opportunity offered by the Canadian Polar Commission called the Northern Scientific Training Program. It is designed to support students interested in solving the pressing environmental, health, cultural, socio-economic, political, educational, legal, engineering or resource development challenges facing the Arctic and its peoples.
This program makes it possible for students to address these issues by providing supplementary funding to cover expenses associated with northern travel, accommodations, freight and translators/interpreters.
Over 300 York University graduate and undergraduate students have gained experience conducting research in Canada’s North through the NSTP.
You are eligible for NSTP funding if you are a Canadian citizen or landed immigrant and will be undertaking thesis research (BA, MA or PhD) with a York University professor in the North during 2015.
