Be the reason the next great discovery begins

Imagine if your generosity helped launch a student’s journey into research—improving the health of individuals, communities, and our healthcare future. That’s exactly what the Research Futures Scholarship Program (RFSP) is achieving—thanks to donors like you. 

Research Futures Scholarship Program

By supporting the RFSP, you’re not just funding a scholarship. You’re unlocking confidence, career pathways, and real-world impact in traditional, complementary, and integrative medicine. You’re planting seeds of innovation that will shape the healthcare of tomorrow. 

Take Lavendi, a naturopathy student, who joined the program uncertain about her place in research. Six weeks later, she had not only tested herbs with antibacterial potential against UTIs, but also discovered her passion for scientific exploration. She’s now preparing to enrol in a Master’s program—ready to advance evidence-based practice in natural medicine. 

Or Ryan, a Biomedical Science student, whose project on polyphenol absorption brought together researchers, technicians, and students across disciplines. Even when results didn’t go as planned, his work laid the foundation for future studies—and helped him discover his calling in biomedical research. 

With 33 students already supported and more ready to step into the lab, your gift directly powers the next generation of researchers and clinicians—curious, capable, and committed to improving health outcomes through evidence-informed integrative care. 

At the National Centre for Naturopathic Medicine, we believe a better healthcare future is one where science, compassion, and innovation work hand in hand.

You’re not just giving a scholarship. You’re changing lives—and helping shape the future of healthcare.
