Summer Student Scholarships

The CCFC Summer Student Scholarships for research in gastroenterology are administered by the Canadian Association of Gastroenterologists and are designed to provide short-term financial support for undergraduates who wish to obtain introductory training in research in the field of gastroenterology. In 2007, the Foundation increased these scholarships to $6,000 per annum.
