2026 Elizabeth Henry Scholarship – Apply Now!

The Elizabeth Henry Scholarship for Communities and Environmental Health is now open for applications! Apply between January 20 and May 15, 2026.

The scholarship supports graduate students working on research projects in partnership with one or more Indigenous and/or non-Indigenous British Columbia communities that are addressing air quality, environmental health issues and/or promoting environmental sustainability through cooperative initiatives.

A scholarship of $4,000 is offered for B.C.-based applicants in 2026. In addition, applications for a new Yukon-based scholarship will open in August with a deadline in September 2026.

The scholarship was created in 2014 with support from the Directors and the staff of the Fraser Basin Council to remember Elizabeth Henry and her many contributions to our organization and to communities across British Columbia. Elizabeth exhibited high ethical standards and integrity in her work, and she was committed to promoting dialogue and respectful collaboration among diverse stakeholders. The intent of the scholarship is to support community projects that reflect these values.
