Acknowledge your Vanier scholarship

The Vanier CGS program encourages you to promote your accomplishment in becoming a Vanier scholar. Please remember to mention that you are a Vanier scholar in any documentation related to your scholarly activities (e.g., in the promotion of speaking engagements, at conferences or workshops, in biographical notes, in materials for the media, etc.).

The title of each scholar must include the term "Vanier Canada Graduate Scholar." You may use this title for the duration of your award.
