Three UBC members are among 14 who have been awarded Pierre Elliott Trudeau Foundation scholarships: Interdisciplinary Studies doctoral student Sophia Murphy and alumni David Morgan (Masters in Political Science, 2011) and Robyn Sneath (Bachelor of Education, 2011). The scholarships support social sciences and humanities doctoral students focused on researching and sharing innovative ideas that will help solve issues of critical importance to Canadians.
In addition to a $60,000 annual grant for a three-year period, the Trudeau scholars will benefit from the expertise and knowledge of Trudeau fellows and mentors. There have been 19 Trudeau Scholars from UBC since the beginning of the program in 2003.
