J. Gregory Cairncross Graduate Scholarship

The University of Calgary recognizes that diverse students, faculty, staff and alumni benefit and enrich the work, teaching, learning and research experiences of the entire campus and broader community. We are committed to creating equitable pathways to the university by creating opportunities as well as removing barriers that have been, and continue to be, encountered by equity-deserving groups, including women, Indigenous peoples, visible/racialized minorities, persons with disabilities, and LGBTQ2+. This scholarship honours Dr. Greg Cairncross's dedication to developing the next generation of cancer scientists and his desire to catalyze efforts to enhance equity, diversity, and inclusion in support of cancer research trainees.
