TD Bank Financial Group
Scholarship in Rehabilitation-Related Research
for Graduate Students with Disabilities
At Toronto Rehab, our goal is to advance rehabilitation and enhance quality
of life by pushing the frontiers of rehabilitation science. As a fully affiliated
teaching and research hospital of the University of Toronto, we advance rehabilitation
knowledge and practice through research. Research is an investment in the
future. Scholarships are also an investment in the future.
As researchers, we embrace the concept of consumer participation; we believe
that people with disabilities should be active participants in planning and
conducting research. Thus, with the generous support of TD Bank Financial Group,
Toronto Rehab has established this award to further the active involvement
of people with disabilities in rehabilitation-related research.
The TD Bank Financial Group Scholarship in Rehabilitation-Related Research
for Graduate Students with Disabilities will be awarded to full-time or part-time
student(s) in good standing to support their education and training. Applicants
must have a disability. Candidates must plan to be enrolled in a graduate
program leading to a master's or doctoral degree at the University of Toronto.
Fields of study must relate to rehabilitation but are not limited to any
particular discipline and, for example, may include but are not limited to
rehabilitation sciences, health administration, and engineering. The scholarship
will be for the period from September 2006 to April 2007, and will be renewable
for an additional year depending on satisfactory performance. The scholarship
will be for $20,000; an individual supplement will be provided to help meet
special costs of attending graduate school that are incurred as a result
of disability.
The application and additional information will be available at a later date
in the Research section of the Toronto Rehab website at www.torontorehab.com.
In the meantime, please forward your contact information to Research Administration
