CTRN Excellence Scholarships - 2022 Edition

  • Once again this year, the CTRN will offer excellence scholarships during its annual competition. Each scholarship will be in the amount of $12,000. The CTRN expects the research supervisor of the student who has received a CTRN scholarship to top it up to $21,000 (minimum).
  • Recipients will be able to access an additional amount of $1,000 to participate in a conference or other scientific activity that must be deemed acceptable by the management committee (eg summer schools, internships, etc.). To do this, recipients must submit a request to the CTRN and justify it before the end of 2023 (the event or activity must take place in 2023).
  • Note that the scholarship form is harmonized with the FRQS CV form and format. So if you have already made an FRQS application, you can use copy/paste for several sections, otherwise the sections can be used to prepare your next FRQS application.
  • For a given competition, a regular member of the CTRN can submit the application of only one of his students.
  • Recipients of a CTRN excellence grant undertake to present their research as part of the annual Neuroscience Research Day organized by the CTRN.

Eligibility requirements

  • The scholarships are intended for students registered in a graduate program at Université Laval at the time of the competition date and working under the supervision of a researcher who is a regular member of the CTRN. However, if the student was not registered in a 3rd cycle program at the time of submitting his application, he must imperatively be registered no later than September 1, 2023, the deadline for the start of the scholarship.
  • The CTRN excellence scholarship program aims above all to favor students at the beginning of their doctorate because the awarding of a scholarship early in their training will have a maximum leverage effect with granting agencies. This in no way excludes students whose background in the 3rd cycle program is more advanced, since the excellence of the research file is the criterion that takes precedence over all others. Nevertheless, for students who have passed the 4th doctoral session at the time of submitting your scholarship application, the research supervisor must explain (in the section provided for this purpose in the form) why the student deserves the scholarship. of the CTRN at an advanced stage of its formation. No applications will be accepted after the 9th doctoral session.
  • CTRN scholarships are not renewable. Subsequently, a student can only obtain an excellence scholarship once during his doctoral studies.
  • The CTRN scholarship cannot be combined with another scholarship (granting agency, institutions, foundation, etc.)
