Funding is available for graduate students through the Robert Caton and David Bates Scholarships. These scholarships are intended to support graduate-level students with high ideals, demonstrated interest in studies relating to atmospheric sciences, air quality and health or policy, and specific goals leading to future work in that field.
Robert Caton Scholarship
The Robert Caton Scholarship was established in 2004 to honour the memory of Dr. Robert Brent Caton, a scholar, entrepreneur and expert in the field of air quality, atmospheric
emissions, environmental management and policy. The Robert Caton Scholarship is an annual award of $2,000.
David Bates Scholarship
The David Bates Scholarship was established in 2008 to honour the memory of Dr. David Vincent Bates, who was one of the foremost international authorities on the health effects
of air pollution. An amount of $2,000 was available for the David Bates Scholarship in 2011.
CLEAR Fund Scholarship
Depending on funding, an additional scholarship provided through the Clean Air Research Fund (CLEAR) may be awarded in recognition of those students involved in air quality research that furthers the primary goal of the Fund: to acquire new knowledge in order to help understand and solve air quality management issues in B.C. Those who apply to the Robert Caton and David Bates Scholarship would also be considered for the CLEAR Fund Scholarship. In 2011, an award of $1,000 was made.
The B.C. Clean Air Research Fund — BC CLEAR — has been established by the provincial government to support air quality and health research of strategic importance to British Columbia. The fund is administered by the Fraser Basin Council.
