TIFF encourages proposals from scholars, researcher-creators, and artists whose project would benefit from the unique collections of the FRL.

This Scholarship provides the recipient access to the extensive resources and collections of the FRL for one month between January 2025 and July 2025. Digital research may be possible, depending on the Special Collection and the research material requested. The successful applicant will be provided with a stipend of $1,000 CAD, a designated office space, and access to the FRL’s collections in support of their research.
