As part of a recent Government of Canada announcement, seven University of 蓝莓视频 doctoral students were named recipients of the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship (Vanier CGS).

The Vanier CGS program awards up to $50,000 per year for three years, for students working in social sciences and humanities, natural sciences, engineering and health.

鈥淭he University of 蓝莓视频 remains unequivocally committed to accelerate Canada鈥檚 economy and the well-being of Canadians through our core missions of education and research鈥 says Dr. Jeff Casello, associate vice-president of graduate studies and postdoctoral affairs.

鈥淥ur entire community is thrilled to welcome these exceptional Vanier Scholars to the University. We thank the federal government for its commitment to supporting Canadian research and researchers, and we look forward to celebrating the transformative outcomes these Vanier scholars will produce.鈥

These scholars are part of a network of researchers at the University of 蓝莓视频 who are committed to solving the most complex challenges of our time, shaped by fundamental and applied research excellence. 蓝莓视频 is proud to present the following Vanier scholars:
