The Virginie-Allaire Academic Scholarship is open to master’s and doctoral students, as well as postdoctoral fellows, who demonstrate exceptional aptitude for research in nursing. The research projects of these students, supervised or co-supervised by the holder of the Marguerite-d’Youville Research Chair, must be in an area of interest to the main objectives of the Chair.
These scholarships provide valuable support to recipients throughout their academic journey, as illustrated by the following testimonials:

Being awarded the Virginie Allaire Scholarship gave me confidence in my potential and opened up a whole new avenue for my academic and professional development. Thanks to this scholarship, I'm now able to concentrate fully on my studies toward completing my Master's project, and I have the chance to communicate the results of my work.
