Grant and Funding Programs Offered by La Fondation Maurice-Séguin

La Fondation Maurice-Séguin supports university research in the humanities on national questions in Quebec, including history, demolinguistics, political science, political philosophy, anthropology, sociology, political economy, and constitutional law. It awards scholarships to students and university researchers, supports publication of humanities research, and contributes to conferences, colloquia, and round tables. Its public scholarship programs include master’s and doctoral awards. In the funding ecosystem, the foundation provides specialized academic funding for a research field that is important to public debate but often difficult to finance through general-purpose programs. By supporting students, researchers, publications, and scholarly events, it helps maintain intellectual capacity, research continuity, and public dissemination in Quebec humanities. The foundation therefore links philanthropy, higher education, and civic knowledge production in a targeted way.
