February 6, 2025
The Government of Canada is investing in the future of meteorology in Canada with the launch of a new scholarship program. The Canadian Meteorological Scholarship will provide financial support to students pursuing undergraduate or graduate studies in meteorology at Canadian universities.
“Meteorologists play a vital role in keeping Canadians safe and informed,” said the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate Change. “This scholarship will help to ensure that we have the next generation of skilled professionals needed to provide accurate and timely weather forecasts and warnings.”
The scholarship is open to Canadian citizens and permanent residents who are enrolled in an accredited meteorology program at a Canadian university. Scholarships will be awarded based on academic merit and financial need.
“This scholarship will make a real difference in the lives of students who are passionate about meteorology,” said Dr. David Grimes, President of the Canadian Meteorological and Oceanographic Society. “It will help to remove financial barriers and allow more students to pursue their dreams of becoming meteorologists.”
The Canadian Meteorological Scholarship is part of the Government of Canada’s commitment to supporting science and innovation. The scholarship will help to ensure that Canada has the skilled workforce needed to address the challenges of climate change and other environmental issues.
