Security and defence studies attempt to understand and describe the possible and existing nature of current and future threats to the stability, welfare and security of Canada. Participating organizations are encouraged to supplement this amount with additional funds. Approximately six internships will be awarded in the coming year. The final number of internships awarded will depend upon the level of response and the quality of applications for this program and others within the Security and Defence Forum. The award may not be renewed.
Internships are tenable within a wide spectrum of security and defence related institutions.
More than one application may be made. Universities and government departments or agencies in Canada are excluded. Normally a knowledge of both official languages is required. Where possible, referees should comment on the candidate's ability to read, write and communicate orally in their second official language. On completion of the award, a reasonably detailed account of the internship and any research undertaken must be submitted to the AUCC, who will forward it to the Department of National Defence.
