The Rideau Hall Foundation (RHF) and Universities Canada are pleased to announce the winners of the 2025 Canadian Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Scholarships program (QES) call for proposals.
$6.2 million in program funding from the prestigious QES program will support international collaborative projects at 22 Canadian universities and colleges. All projects will focus on the adaptation, response and resilience to a changing climate.
These projects will provide international study experiences, research, or internships for outbound Canadian students as well as support for inbound international students. The 22 benefitting colleges and universities include:
“More than ever, young leaders need global experience and understanding to prosper. Canada's economy and communities will benefit from the leadership and skills of Queen Elizabeth Scholars enriched by their service and learning abroad,” said Teresa Marques, President and CEO of the Rideau Hall Foundation. “The urgency of the climate crisis demands our collective attention, and I am thrilled that for the first time QES funding will be going to support programs at colleges and institutes as well as universities. These programs will result in significant impact here at home, while showcasing Canada's leadership on the world stage.”
“We are proud to announce this new group of projects under the QES program, giving more students the opportunity to deepen their understanding of global issues and grow into strong, community leaders,” said Gabriel Miller, President and CEO of Universities Canada. “QES has a decade-long track record of fostering global partnerships and community engagement, and it empowers the next generation to make a lasting impact at home and abroad.”
The QES program is led by the Rideau Hall Foundation in collaboration with Universities Canada.
Established in 2012, this scholarship has been awarded to more than 2,600 scholars from Canada and around the world. With this new round of funding, the QES program has now provided support for 134 international projects in over 80 countries. It is Canada's premier academic program for global leadership, collaboration, and multidisciplinary learning.
