Earlier this year, Universities Canada, with funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada, launched a scholarship initiative to support students entering meteorology and atmospheric science education programs across the country. The Environment and Climate Change Canada Meteorology Awards will provide up to 80 scholarships from 2024 to 2029, totalling $648,000.
We are investing in the next generation of meteorologists and helping students get ahead by removing financial barriers to building careers in meteorology and atmospheric sciences.
The first 20 scholarship recipients have been selected and have received scholarships totalling $138,000 for studies in the fall of 2025 some with the potential for renewal in the next academic year. These include:
The next round of the scholarship program will open for applications in the winter of 2025-2026. The program is open to students enrolled in Bachelor of Science programs at Canadian post-secondary institutions offering degrees in atmospheric sciences and/or meteorology for fall 2026.
