The Lorraine Allison Memorial Scholarship will be awarded to a graduate student enrolled at a Canadian university. They must be enrolled in a program of study related to Northern issues. Northern is defined as locations that lie north of the southern limit of the discontinuous permafrost zone. Candidates in biological science fields will be preferred, but social science topics will also be considered. The Scholarship Committee looks for applicants who best address academic excellence; have demonstrated commitment to Northern research; and desire for research results to be beneficial to Northerners, especially Indigenous Northerners. Scholars from Yukon, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut are encouraged to apply. Applicants must submit a Cover Letter, which includes an email address where they can be contacted. They must also submit a brief description of the proposed research, including a clear hypothesis, relevance, title and statement of the purpose of the research, the area and type of study, the methodology and plan for evaluation of findings. Any collaborative relationship or work should be briefly identified. Three reference letters are also required. A list of current sources and amounts of research funding must also be submitted, including scholarships, grants and bursaries. Please visit the scholarship's website for more information.
