Description
Abdul Bader was born in the Iranian capital city of Tehran in 1949. After completing his primary education he left his homeland for Great Britain, where he completed his secondary education.
In the early 1990s, Mr. Bader had the opportunity to gain permanent resident status in Canada. Some years later, he became a Canadian citizen.
On learning of the high tuition costs for these students, Mr. Bader decided the scholarship should be directed to international students, with a first preference for Iranian students who are residents of Iran. In this manner, Mr. Bader hoped to give back to his homeland and his adopted country of Canada, which, he says, has been most generous to people like him.
Benefits
The scholarship is valued at $40,000 for one 12-month academic year of full-time study and will become partially or fully honorary in terms where a recipient also holds other FGS-managed scholarships and awards.
Eligibility
- Applicants from Iran will be given first preference for the award, with international students being considered if there are no Iranian candidates.
