Description
Applications are now open for the 2026 Brain Tumour Research Studentships, a unique opportunity for undergraduate and medical students in Canada to gain hands-on experience in brain tumour research. These two-year awards provide $10,000 in funding to support promising students working on projects that advance understanding, treatment, and care for those affected by brain tumours.
Applications will be considered for students working on brain tumour research projects in the following two categories:
Medical students, without PHD and currently in their first year at a medical school in
Canada.
Undergraduate students who are enrolled in a Canadian post-secondary institution and
have at least 2 consecutive summers remaining in their College or University program.
Successful applicants will receive $10,000 over two years ($5,000 per summer). Funding will be granted to students working on projects in June, July, and August 2026 and June, July, and August 2027 (unless otherwise requested).
Priority will be given to studies focused on low-grade glioma and rare tumour types, though all areas of brain tumour research are eligible. Applications are due January 23, 2026.
