The NSTP is managed by the Department of Indian Affairs and Northern Development (DIAND) as part of its mandate to foster science and technology in the Canadian North. The Program's aim is to promote interest in northern studies, and provide opportunities for advanced and graduate students to obtain experience and professional training in the North. The grants offered by the NSTP contribute to the fees related to transportation logistics and subsistence while in the North while you acquire relevant training and develop your skills for northern research.
This program interests you? Each fall, the program receives online applications from students all over Canada. All applications and reports (filled out by those who have received the grant the previous year) must be completed online by the last day of October every year.
Each university has its own NSTP chairperson. For more information, please contact the chairperson at your university or visit the NSTP website: http://www.aadnc-aandc.gc.ca/eng/1100100037313
