CSA Group Graduate Scholarship

Overview for Applicants

The purpose of the CSA Group Graduate Scholarship is to support graduate students in the pursuit of novel research related to standards. Graduate students at the Master’s level studying at or accepted to a publicly-funded, accredited Canadian university are eligible to apply.

The research can be conducted in any field (e.g. engineering, social sciences, health sciences) and must include standards as a significant component of the research. The research may investigate aspects of an existing standard or may explore an area for future standards development. The topic does not need to be related to an area in which CSA Group already has standards.

As part of the application process, CSA Group will be collecting personal information about you. Prior to applying for the CSA Group Graduate Scholarship, please review our privacy policy.
