• encourage and support graduate students to carry out research of interest to Environment and Climate Change Canada
• increase contacts between Environment and Climate Change Canada researchers and Canadian institutions
• promote training of potential candidates for possible future employment at Environment and Climate Change Canada

This scholarship supplement provides financial support to high-calibre students working toward a master’s or doctoral degree in the atmospheric or meteorological sciences or related fields.

At the time of your application for this scholarship supplement, you must be studying or planning to study atmospheric or meteorological sciences in a recognized program at a Canadian institution. At the end of the award’s tenure, you will be required to provide a brief progress report to Environment and Climate Change Canada. The supplement is not automatically renewable but you may reapply to the supplement.

Environment and Climate Change Canada will supplement your scholarship by $5,000, provided you hold a CGRS M or a CGRS D award and continue to conduct research in the atmospheric or meteorological sciences.
