The Institute sponsors scholarships to provide recent graduates from Canadian law schools with an excellent opportunity to pursue graduate studies abroad. The Institute’s scholarship program continues despite the ongoing challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Right Honourable Paul Martin Sr. Scholarship is awarded for study in the LLM Program at the University of Cambridge. This scholarship is co-funded with the Cambridge Commonwealth European and International Trust, which is the principal channel for scholarship programs at the University. Each year it awards scholarships to a number of postgraduate applicants, including our joint scholarship for LLM students.

The Paul-André Crépeau Scholarship is awarded for advanced legal studies leading to the equivalent of a master’s or doctoral degree study in the French language outside Canada. The scholarship’s eligibility criteria allow for a one-year stay within the scope of a doctoral program jointly supervised with a French language university outside Canada. The recent broadening of the scholarship criteria allows for applicants planning to study in joint doctoral programs offered by French language universities in Canada to be considered for the award.

The deadline for applications for the 2023-2024 academic year is December 31, 2022. If you would like to obtain more information about the Institute’s scholarships you can visit the Institute’s website at www.canadian-institute.com.
