The CARE Scholarship at Sciences Po

Made possible by funding from the Fondation DRG, CARE is a joint initiative of Sciences Po, University of British Columbia, University of Guelph, and University of Toronto. CARE encourages students to develop the skills, knowledge and experiences needed to generate hands-on solutions to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss and pollution.

Scholarships are available for Canadian students to follow graduate studies in topics related to CARE’s core themes at Sciences Po’s PSIA starting in September 2027.
