emotional, financial, and last a lifetime.
Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada raises funds to provide vital services and programs for the
brain tumour community. We also lead research into the cause of and cure for this devastating
disease through a variety of funding opportunities including the Brain Tumour Research
Studentship. This award provides students opportunities to gain experience in Brain Tumour
research and its research methods.
