Friedman Scholars Program

The goal of the Constance Livingstone-Friedman and Sydney Friedman Foundation Scholarships in Health Sciences is to provide funding to graduate students or medical residents so that they can pursue a learning opportunity to further their career or to bring new perspectives to the education they have already received.

 Award:

Between $25,000 to $50,000 annually, open to renewal for one time only.

 Requirements and Eligibility

Friedman Scholars are expected to travel to other areas of the world to seek new perspectives and learn from experts in their fields. Travel must be outside of Western Canada (east of Manitoba) and beyond. Learners must engage with a leading figure or group for a minimum period of 3 months.  Open to any UBC graduate student or UBC Medical Resident Trainee in the health related sciences. Health sciences will be interpreted broadly.

Deadline: March 20, 2014
