The CSA Graduate Scholarship is an annual opportunity that offers financial assistance to graduate students enrolled in Canadian universities. It aims to support students by providing funds for their research, helping them advance their academic and professional careers.
About CSA Group Graduate Scholarship
The CSA Group Graduate Scholarship is designed to support master’s-level graduate students who are conducting innovative research that involves standards. Eligible applicants must be studying or accepted into a publicly funded, accredited Canadian university.
The research can span various fields, such as engineering, social sciences, or health sciences, but must have standards as a core component of the investigation. This could involve examining existing standards or identifying areas for the development of new ones. The research doesn’t need to be in a field where CSA Group already has established standards.
