Jennifer Robinson Memorial Scholarship

To be eligible you must be:

• A graduate student.
• Enrolled at a Canadian university.
• Studying Northern biology (Northern is defined as locations that lie north of the southern limit of the discontinuous permafrost zone).

The Scholarship Committee looks for:

• Qualities of scholarship that the late Jennifer Robinson brought to her studies at the Institute's Kluane Lake Research Station.
• Evidence of Northern relevance.
• Commitment to field-oriented research.

To be considered, your application must include the following:

• Cover Letter (please include an email address where we can contact you).
• Brief description of the proposed research (2 to 3 pages), including a clear hypothesis, relevance, title and statement of the purpose of the research, the area and type of study, the methodology and plan for evaluation of findings. Any collaborative relationship or work should be briefly identified.
• Three reference letters.
• Complete curriculum vitae.
• Official transcripts (transcripts issued to students are acceptable).
• A list of current sources and amounts of research funding, including scholarships, grants and bursaries.

Note: If you are applying for both the Jennifer Robinson and Lorraine Allison Memorial Scholarships, one set of transcripts is sufficient. Also, reference letters may be used for both application packages. Ensure that this is noted in your cover letter.
