Government of Canada - PromoScience Grant Program Requirements
- Eligibility to the PromoScience program is tied to the organization and the programming, not an individual. The principal applicant, as identified on the application, is the primary individual who leads the direction of the proposed activities, as well as coordinates the financial and administrative aspects of the application as the recipient, on behalf of the organization.

Organizations that encourage Indigenous undergraduate students to pursue graduate studies in natural sciences and engineering (NSE) are also eligible.
