Through its scholarship programme, the CANADIAN TRANSPORTATION RESEARCH FORUM (CTRF) promotes graduate students to focus on the logistics or transportation industries. Students are encouraged to apply and submit work in either English or French, according to CTRF. The goal is to train highly trained employees who will eventually work in the logistics or transportation industry and contribute.
Therefore, CTRF is providing $6,000 scholarships for the academic year 2023–2024 in collaboration with other organisations. Priority is given to (but is not limited to) graduate students already enrolled in these programmes who are selecting research subjects for their theses or graduation essays.
A applicant may apply more than once, but they are only eligible for one CTRF scholarship. The educational facility the student wishes to attend or is currently enrolled in does not need to offer a specialised transportation programme in order for the student to be eligible. The scholarship's eligibility is decided by the scholarship committee based on the student's intended course of study. Business, engineering, economics, geography, law, planning, and other relevant subjects of study are all possible.
The applicant's research or study must be focused on one of the following three categories to be eligible for a CTRF Scholarship funded by Transport Canada: Transportation Economics, Efficiency and Competitiveness; Transportation Safety and Security; or Sustainable Transportation. To learn more about the Transport Canada programme, see the link at the bottom of the page: http://ctrf.ca/?page_id=1206.
The chance to present their research at a CTRF event (by webinar or at the Annual Conference) will be provided to scholarship winners.

Recipients of scholarships will be given a free registration to the CTRF Annual Conference that takes place in the year of their award. (For instance, the winner of the 2023–2024 Scholarship will get a free registration to the 2024 Annual Conference.)
Submission deadline is September 30, 2023.

2023 - 2024 Scholarships for transportation studies for graduates
Through its programme of study fellowships, the Groupe de recherches sur les transports au Canada (GRTC) encourages graduate students to focus on the transportation or logistics industries. The GRTC encourages students to propose and submit a research project in either French or English. The goal is to develop highly qualified employees who may eventually join and contribute to the field of logistics or transportation. As a result, the GRTC, along with other organisations, is offering scholarships for the academic year 2023-2024, each worth $6,000 each. The preference will be given, without being limited to it, to applications from students beginning their master's or doctorate programmes as well as those from graduates looking for topics for theses or memos.
A candidate is only eligible to receive one grant from the GRTC, however they are allowed to submit their request more than once. Additionally, the institution of higher learning that the student attends or plans to enrol in does not have a mandate to provide a transportation-specific programme. If the candidate's chosen study plan is acceptable, the Comité des bourses will make that determination. The study areas include, for example, business administration, engineering, economics, geography, law, planning, and other related fields.
In particular, the candidate's field of study must fall under one of the following three categories in order for them to be eligible to receive funding from Transports Canada: economy, effectiveness, and competitiveness in transportation; security and safety in transportation; and sustainable transportation. Candidates are encouraged to review Transports Canada's programme details at the bottom of the website at http://ctrf.ca/?page_id=1206.
The GRTC will occasionally hold events where researchers can present their work (either in person or online, such as the annual conference).
Sponsorship by Transport Canada
The French text follows the English text.
The applicant's research or academic work must be concentrated in one of the three areas listed below in order to be eligible for a CTRF Scholarship supported by Transport Canada.
- The primary agents in delivering sustainable and efficient transportation services are competition and the use of market forces, both within and among the various modes of transportation;
- the appropriate application of regulation and strategic public intervention to achieve goals that are economically or socially efficient and cannot be effectively attained by competition and market dynamics without unfairly favouring or diminishing the inherent benefits of any single mode of transportation;
- rates and business circumstances which don't pose an excessive barrier to the export of goods from Canada or the flow of traffic within Canada;
- solutions that involve collaboration between the public and commercial sectors to create an integrated transportation system;
- integration of electronic and physical linkages amongst modal systems to save back on logistical costs and time;
- increasing the modal efficiency and accessibility of intermodal services to assist Canada's trade corridors, gateways, and international supply chains;
