Memorial University is home to the largest graduate school in Atlantic Canada and a thriving community of student scholars. Our graduate students are actively engaged in diverse and exciting research across a range of disciplines. Through their work they address some of the world’s most complex problems, contribute to economic growth, and improve the lives of people in the communities we share.

Graduate funding is critical to deliver on the promise of this work. You can make a difference by empowering the incredible potential of our students and their research. Your contributions will create opportunities for success, enabling the best and brightest young minds from Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada and around the world.
