Description
The Canadian Council on International Law (CCIL) awards the John Peters Humphrey Student Fellowships to support outstanding students beginning or continuing full-time graduate study in international human rights law or international organization. Recipients may study at a reputable academic institution in Canada or abroad. The fellowship was established through a bequest from John Peters Humphrey, a Canadian international lawyer, human rights advocate and scholar.
CCIL awards up to three fellowships annually and gives priority to applicants entering or about to enter graduate studies. At least one fellowship may be awarded to a student in a master’s program or equivalent. UBC Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies lists the opportunity, while CCIL provides the fellowship information and application form.
