Richard Simeon Doctoral Student Scholarship

October 20, 2014

We are very pleased to announce the establishment of the Richard Simeon Doctoral Student Scholarship, fully funded by generous donations from the Family and Friends of the late Richard Simeon and the U of T Provost’s PhD Enhancement Fund. This scholarship honours the distinguished legacy of a great faculty member and a global leader in the study of federalism.

It will be awarded annually to a PhD student in the Department of Political Science based on academic merit and financial need, with preference given to students who have completed all requirements for the degree except the dissertation and whose research focuses on federalism or intergovernmental relations in Canada and/or other countries. In some years, the award may be split between two deserving students.
