Coady Institute: OceanPath Fellowship

The Fellowship provides community-focused experiential learning opportunities for graduating students to become active and effective change-makers, bringing new ideas and working closely with communities to foster sustainable and positive social change in Canada and around the world. The Coady Institute is partnered with the following universities in offering this Fellowship: McGill University, Queen's University, University of Ottawa and St. Francis Xavier University. The year-long Fellowship is designed for students who have: demonstrated the capacity and potential to develop as effective change-agents; a meaningful connection with a community of their choosing, locally, nationally or internationally; and EITHER an innovative idea of how this community could be strengthened or developed OR a connection with a positive and sustainable community development initiative in any field already underway within this community that they would like to build upon. The Fellowship provides a living allowance (including housing, food, local transport and insurance); travel and travel-related expenses, to cover airfares to and from home locations and the community (if required), and, for those traveling internationally, such things as visas, immunisations and health insurance; and initiative funding, to cover expenses such as start-up and operational costs.
