Eligibility	The purpose of the Northern Scientific Training Program (NSTP) is to encourage and support Canadian university and Northern post-secondary students with an interest in northern studies and conducting thesis research in Northern regions, by assisting them to gain northern professional experience and training, through the issuance of supplementary funds. Eligibility: 1. Be enrolled in a degree program at a Canadian university (post-doctoral studies are not supported); 2. Be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident; 3. Your project lies north of the southern limit of the discontinuous permafrost zone (see map at: http://arcg.is/1vGHyr; and the other seven circumpolar countries (Finland, Greenland (Denmark), Iceland, Norway, Russia, Sweden, and the United States (Alaska); and 4. Your project start date falls within the NSTP Annual cycle of April 1 to March 31. Summer and winter projects are eligible. For projects with a duration less than 21 days, additional justification will be required. NSTP funds projects on northern topics from all disciplines and in multi-disciplinary fields. NSTP will provide one year of funding for thesis-based research at the undergraduate level, up to two years of funding for thesis-based research at the Masters level and up to three years of funding for thesis-based research at the doctoral level. NSTP funds are restricted. They are a supplement meant to offset the additional costs of northern research (e.g., transportation and living costs). The NSTP is not intended to be a source of primary support for students pursuing northern research. The money allotted to you during that time must be spent out by the end of the fiscal year.
