Northern Scientific Training Program

The NSTP supports Canadian universities in providing scientific training that gives advanced undergraduate and graduate students professional experience in the Canadian North and encourages them to develop a commitment to northern work.

The objective of the NSTP is to increase the number of students who have specialized in some aspect of northern studies and who have northern research experience. This objective is attained by encouraging the formation of multi-disciplinary focal points for northern studies within Canadian universities (i.e. Northern Studies Committees) and by providing supplementary financial assistance to universities for students to offset the high cost of northern research (i.e. transportation costs, living costs, shipping costs and interpreter fees).

Internal Deadline: Oct. 28th

Eligibility:

• Be enrolled in a degree program at a Canadian university.
