Apply Now for the Technology for Aging Gracefully Research Scholarship
Technology changes the way we age.
The Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging (RIA) is excited to share an opportunity for graduate students to receive The Technology for Aging Gracefully Research Scholarship. Two $2,000 scholarships will be awarded to Master's or PhD students from racialized and/or Indigenous (First Nations, Inuit and/or Metis) communities who are conducting research that supports the advancement and use of technology for older adults. This scholarship is made possible by a generous donation from Dr. Cosmin Munteanu, Schlegel Research Chair in Technology for Healthy Aging and Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo.
"Technology has the power to improve older adults' lives, but we need greater equity in access to technology and participation in designing it," said Dr. Munteanu. "This scholarship will help promising students to overcome the barriers they face."
Interested candidates must apply online by December 14, 2026. For more information, please contact Abby Witmer, Project Coordinator, at abby.witmer@the-ria.ca.
