rare supports excellence in graduate research and art through the competitive annual Ages Foundation Fellowship & Bursaries program.
We recognize that historical and present-day barriers exist that disadvantage Black, Indigenous and other People of Colour (BIPOC) from pursuing higher education. The Ages Foundation Fellowship & Bursaries program, therefore, includes a dedicated BIPOC award. Up to $15,000 will be distributed annually in the following amounts: one $5,000 award, one $5,000 BIPOC award, and up to five $1,000+ bursaries.
Annual scholarship applications can be submitted between January 1 and April 1. Email applications to rare’s Conservation Scientist (research@raresites.org). Successful recipients will be notified by mid-April.
Your project has an environmental focus and will utilize rare as a field site, case study or in some other capacity.
You have not received any previous scholarships from the Ages Foundation Fellowship & Bursaries program.
Protecting 1,200 acres of land
We are a community-based land trust and environmental institute dedicated to protecting over 1,200 acres of environmentally sensitive land across eight properties in Waterloo Region and Wellington County. We protect these lands for the health and wellbeing of the community today, and we communicate the importance of these lands to ensure their protection tomorrow.
