The Canadian Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Scholarships program (QES) fosters a dynamic community of young global leaders that create lasting impacts at home and abroad. Through professional experiences, the program provides international education opportunities for discovery and inquiry.
Queen Elizabeth Scholars engage with communities, learn about cultures and create projects and actions that impact the world. They are part of a global network of young scholars who share knowledge, exchange ideas, and collaborate on meaningful initiatives.
The program is managed through a unique partnership of the Rideau Hall Foundation, Community Foundations of Canada, Universities Canada and Canadian universities. The QES-AS is made possible with financial support from IDRC and SSHRC.
