IDEAL Scholarship

Inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) are critical to driving innovation and growth in the Canadian bio-economy. Yet, a lot of talent is not well represented in the sector. Only 9% of recent immigrants are represented in the workplace, while Persons with disabilities and Indigenous Peoples represent a mere combined 1%.

The I.D.E.A.L. Scholarship focuses on improving the representation of equity-deserving groups in the sector while helping students achieve their academic goals in biosciences.
