Haynes Graduate Scholarship for the Advancement of Animal Welfare

Open to graduate students in the Animal Welfare Program or interdisciplinary studies at UBC Vancouver whose research aims to reduce animal suffering through avenues such as education, regulation, media, and the law.

Scholarship funding is available, with amounts varying by cycle. Awards are made on the recommendation of the Faculty of Land and Food Systems in consultation with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, with no separate student application.

The award was established in memory of Mouse, Mrs. Haynes' adopted cat, who demonstrated the transformative power of the human-animal bond, and supports research on how human behaviour and policy influence the lives of animals.
