Scholarships

From 2007 – 2010/2011 we partnered with Yukon College to offer an Award for Northern Health Research. Funding for this award ($17K for Master’s student $21.5K for a Ph.D student) came from the CIHR Team Grant through Dr. Kue Young, and was available in each of the 3 Territories annually until the completion of the grant (2011). In the Yukon, awards were given to 4 Masters students and 1 Ph.D student through an adjudicated process.

“This scholarship will contribute to building health research capacity in the Yukon with our northern graduate students, and it will show how northern capacity can serve our own needs.”
