For HEC Montréal students, 2008-2009 was a productive year in terms of awards from granting agencies: 46 students received awards to pursue their management studies at the graduate and postgraduate levels.

The IFM² will also be announcing award recipients in the coming weeks. The students were selected by independent juries of expert researchers, based on the exceptional quality of their university work focusing on social, economic and cultural issues.
