McMaster pledges $800,000 to support forcibly displaced students, scholars and researchers

Posted on March 21, 2022

McMaster University’s six Faculties and the Office of the Provost have collectively pledged $800,000 to seed two new funds that will help students and scholars at risk around the world, including in Afghanistan and Ukraine, among other countries. “These funds are a critical step in our response to the forcible displacement of students and scholars globally,” says provost and vice-president, Academic Susan Tighe. “This work also builds on McMaster’s commitment to increased access to education for all, and will complement the university’s existing global engagement programs.”
