The scholarship supports the education and training of masters and doctoral students with disabilities who are studying in a rehabilitation-related field and intend on contributing to rehabilitation science as researchers.

The Toronto Rehabilitation Institute (Toronto Rehab) established the scholarship program in 2005 with a pledge of $300,000 from the TD Bank Financial Group. Started in 2006, our third round of scholarships will be awarded for the 2008/09 academic year.
More than an academic award
Toronto Rehab views the scholarship as more than an academic award. We believe that people with disabilities should be active participants in planning and conducting research. The scholarship is intended to act as a spur to involving people with disabilities in rehabilitation-related research.
“Research is an investment in the future – and so are scholarships,” says Dr. Geoff Fernie, Vice President, Research. “We believe this exciting scholarship will open doors to careers in rehabilitation research for top graduate students."
In addition to providing a monetary award, the Scholarship Committee actively works with each of our scholars to support their academic and research success and their future career goals.
Whether you are a graduate student, an undergraduate student completing your final year, or you have previously completed your undergraduate or masters degree, this may be an opportunity for you.
