Celebrating Our Vanier Scholars
Named after Major-General Georges P. Vanier, the first francophone Governor General of Canada, the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship (Vanier CGS) is one of Canada's most prestigious national awards programs for highly qualified doctoral students.
We are proud to acknowledge the Vanier Scholars who are studying and working with us at the University of Alberta. Photo credits: Jeffrey Paul Kelley (Amanda Greenwell), Jake Porteous (Holly Mathias).
