“I want to thank the CCSF’s committee for their selection and express my gratitude for their time and consideration. I would also like to thank the Maple Leaf Trust for their continuing efforts to support Canadian post-graduates studying in the United Kingdom. The financial support of this award will allow me to continue my doctoral studies next year and to focus more energy on research. However, being a recipient of this scholarship goes beyond the financial support it provides, as it brings legitimacy to my research. Being recognized by an outstanding organisation for the contribution and impact my research can bring to Canada is incredibly valuable. It is confirmation that outside of my university, others acknowledge the importance of my research area.”
(Cassie Hayward, PhD Student, Land Economy, Cambridge University 2023)
