MAURICE LEGAULT FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM DISCONTINUED

As a result of several factors, the Canadian Cancer Society regretfully announced the discontinuation of the Maurice Legault fellowships effective October 2001. This change will not affect those individuals who have been awarded fellowships for the 2001-2002 academic year. Applicants who are seeking funding for the upcoming academic year may wish to consider the Canadian Association of Nurses in Oncology (CANO) post-graduate funding awards or the International Society of Nurses in Cancer Care Fellowship opportunity for research.
