Bateman Fellowship in Sustainability
Annually one scholarship is available for students applying to study in fields connected to the mission of Bateman College at Royal Roads University. The goal of Bateman College is to reconnect humans to nature, and understand the critical role of ecology and ecosystems - the role of the ecosystem as the perfect example of an integrated system – representing the importance of integrating economic, social, environmental and cultural thinking for humans to live sustainably into the future. To be eligible for this award, applicants must have one or more external partners willing to invest in their education, and must submit a proposal to Financial Aid & Awards (no application form required). The proposal must indicate how their research or major project assists their community in achieving the goals of sustainability. The proposal should be approximately 2,000 words and include a business case. The amount of the fellowship requested can be valued up to 1/3 the cost of program tuition, excluding required fees and other educational expenses.
Selection Process
Applicants will be assessed by a Fellowship Selection Committee composed of a minimum of three Executive members, including the Registrar and the Associate Vice-President Research. Personal interviews of candidates may form a part of the selection process. In assessing applications, the Committee will consider not only the fit of the proposed research or major project with the mission of Bateman College but the likelihood of furtherance of the objectives of the College and such other factors as the Committee deems relevant.
Deadline: July 1
