CESEF Graduate Scholarship Program

The Board of Directors of the CESEF is pleased to announced the 2021-2022 recipient of its scholarship program

The Canadian Evaluation Society Educational Fund (CESEF) is currently inviting applications from Master's and PhD students for its Graduate Scholarship Program.

The Graduate Scholarship Program seeks to support the development of theory and practice of program evaluation by facilitating access to education and training to those working in or wishing to work in the field of program evaluation. To this end, the CESEF is offering the Universalia Charles Lusthaus Scholarship valued at $5,000. This is a one-time, non-renewable, 12-month award.

This initiative aims to increase the supply of qualified evaluators who can benefit Canadian society through their careers in evaluation.

Although CESEF’s objectives are specific to program evaluation, the objectives of this Scholarship Program are meant to be broader than just program evaluation, and are meant to:

Support Graduate students in evaluation to develop research skills while undertaking graduate learning
Increase Graduate students’ capacity to:
- learn about evaluation theory and practice;
- build the capacity to acquire the designation of Credentialed Evaluator;
- and/or pursue careers in evaluation.

Please note that the current deadline for applications is Friday, December 16, 2022, at 4:30 pm Central Standard Time (CST). Documents submitted after this time will not be accepted.

Instructions for students interested in applying for the Graduate Scholarship can be found in the following documents:

We wish to thank Universalia for supporting the establishment of the Universalia Charles Lusthaus Scholarship.

The CESEF is an independent organization created by the Canadian Evaluation Society in 1990 and reorganized in 2005 to increase national assessment capacity through educational activities. In 2006, CESEF was officially registered as a Canadian charity.

The Fund maintains partnerships with the Canadian Evaluation Society and the Consortium of Universities for Evaluation Education to promote the shared goal of developing the area of program evaluation by increasing access to education, training and professional development.

We invite interested people, potential partners, students and evaluation specialists to send us their comments and suggestions.
