Three USask students recognized nationally with Vanier scholarships

The Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships are among the most prestigious awards for doctoral students in Canada, offering $150,000 over three years to support world-class research, academic excellence and leadership.

Administered through Canada’s three federal granting agencies—the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC)—the Vanier program aims to attract and retain top-tier talent across disciplines.

The University of Saskatchewan (USask) is proud to celebrate three exceptional doctoral students who have been awarded 2025 Vanier scholarships: two funded by NSERC and one by SSHRC.

“We are incredibly proud of our Vanier scholars and the remarkable contributions they are making in their fields,” said Dr. Debby Burshtyn (PhD), dean of the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. “USask is very fortunate to attract these research leaders to our graduate programs.”
