Applications are now open for the 2026 Brain Tumour Research Studentships, a unique opportunity for undergraduate and medical students in Canada to gain hands-on experience in brain tumour research. These two-year awards provide $10,000 in funding to support promising students working on projects that advance understanding, treatment, and care for those affected by brain tumours. Priority will be given to studies focused on low-grade glioma and rare tumour types, though all areas of brain tumour research are eligible. Applications are due January 23, 2026.
