Student Research & Social Eyecare Scholarships

At FORSEE Canada, our scholarships are more than financial support — they represent our commitment to shaping the future of global eye care. We offer two unique scholarships: one for students pursuing studies in eye health or global health, and another that supports students conducting research in collaboration with an academic-affiliated ophthalmologist. These scholarships are designed to reduce financial barriers while encouraging both academic exploration and scientific contribution. By supporting education and research, we aim to empower the next generation of professionals who will advance innovation, equity, and access in vision care — both in Canada and across the globe.
