The 3M National Student Fellowship honours up to ten full-time undergraduate students at Canadian institutions who have demonstrated outstanding leadership and innovation through seeing current needs in higher education or society and implementing change in their lives and at their university. These students embrace a vision of quality education that enhances their academic experience and beyond.

To apply for the 3M National Student Fellowship (3MNSF), you must:

• Be enrolled full-time as an undergraduate student in a post-secondary Canadian institution
• Have completed at least one full semester of study at the time of nomination
• Have not previously received a 3M National Student Fellowship

Contribution

Fellowship recipients receive $1000 (to be spent at their discretion) and are invited to join other award winners at the annual conference of the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE). They will also participate in a 3M National Student Fellowship Program summit. Awardees will receive a contribution towards their cost of travel to and accommodation during the conference.

While at the conference, awardees will have the opportunity to develop a cross-Canadian collaborative project with other award winners with the goal of enhancing teaching and learning at the post-secondary level. Up to $25,000 will be provided to the 3M National Student Fellows cohort to fund their collaborative project that supports both their networking with institutions and leaders all across Canada and is an opportunity for them to make a change in higher education for undergraduate students.
