Richard J. Schmeelk Canada Fellowship

The Richard J. Schmeelk Canada Fellowship is a post-graduate award for selected students at eligible Canadian universities. Founded by American investment banker and philanthropist Richard J. Schmeelk, the scholarship is administered by the Schmeelk Canada Foundation, a national charitable organization.

The scholarship is awarded to Canadian citizens who wish to pursue their masters or doctoral studies in Canada's other official language. Schmeelk scholars may study any full-time postgraduate program offered at eligible universities: Western University (London) or the University of Calgary for Francophones, and the Université de Montréal or Université Laval (Québec) for Anglophones. Bilingual applicants may be granted the award for study outside of their province of origin and residence. The award of $10 000 per semester is granted for up to four semesters.
