Mélissa Coissard, doctoral student in economics under the research
supervision of professors Marie Connolly and Catherine Haeck, won three new scholarships this spring:
– merit scholarship from the Quebec Society and Culture Research Fund (FQRSC), ($21,000 / 3 years)
– merit scholarship from the J.-A. DeSève Foundation – Doctorate ($5,000)
– scholarship from the Association étudiante de l’École des sciences de la gestion (AéESG) – Engagement (1000 $)
Her research project aims to identify the impact and economic spinoffs of Quebec political interventions on the cognitive and non-cognitive development of young children. In particular, it will analyze the impact of two Quebec public policies: the preschool for four-year-olds-program, as well as the impact of the school interruption caused by the pandemic, as part of a study carried out for the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEES).
Congratulations Mélissa!
