$529,500 awarded in scholarships for young researchers at the CRCHUM
The Centre de recherche du CHUM (CRCHUM) recently held the second edition of its Meritas Ceremony on June 19, 2025. This annual celebration showcases the remarkable work of the student and post-doctoral community in a wide variety of scientific fields.
Our generous community of donors made it possible for the CHUM Foundation to award $529,500 in scholarships to master’s, Ph.D. and post-doctoral students and fellowships. These scholarships were in recognition of the students’ academic excellence, tireless commitment and contributions to advancing our understanding of health.
Backing courage and scientific passion to invest in the medicine of tomorrow
These scholarships are not just symbolic—they give students an essential boost and the support they need to achieve their goals of pushing the limits of knowledge and improving care for the public.
By recognizing these students, the Foundation hopes to inspire all students to keep reaching for the stars. Because behind every work of meticulous research, every breakthrough and every innovative idea, there is a spark. And that spark comes from a person looking to change the world.
Health innovation powered by philanthropy
Supporting research means much more than just providing financial backing. It’s a way to fast-track access to innovative care, promote the impeccable work of today’s scientists, and place our faith in a new generation that’s ready to push the limits of what is possible.
By giving to the CHUM Foundation, you are doing something meaningful to support the people who work day after day to build a healthcare system that is more compassionate, precise, and full of hope.
Congratulations to all of our recipients, and thank you from the bottom of our hearts to our precious community of donors. Together, we can act faster than disease.

“This bike-a-thon was a new and very tangible way for us at the Foundation to channel the dedication that inspires our daily work. Pedalling side by side, cheering on our colleagues, pushing our limits as a team: every minute in the saddle reminded us why we do this job.” — Pascale Bouchard, President and Chief Executive Officer of the CHUM Foundation
