Awards & Scholarships Deadlines

This listing is simply to provide you with a timeframe for award/scholarship deadlines. 

Please check your email messages from the Graduate Assistant for full details about application procedures for awards and scholarships.

Guidelines and complete instructions for the 2022-2023 Canada Graduate Scholarships –Master’s (CGS M) competition are now available from this website

The online Canadian Common CV (CCV) and the online “Research Portal” application for the 2022-2023 CGS M competition are accessed from this website.

Clicking on the above links will take you to a website displaying the NSERC banner and logo, but this is the procedure and information for CGS M applications to all three funding agencies: CIHR, NSERC, and SSHRC.

Student Deadline: December 1, 2023 before 08:00 pm Eastern Standard Time.  

Note: As this deadline date approaches, processing delays may stem from a high volume of users on the Research Portal, which may prevent the timely submission of the application.  Requests to submit late applications will not be accepted under any circumstances.

CIHR, NSERC, and SSHRC have now harmonized the Canada Graduate Scholarships-Doctoral (CGS-D) funding program. This is the website for the harmonized CGS-D competition. The harmonized timeline and program description are also shown on this website. 

The website is hosted by NSERC, so NSERC is in the website address.  But this is where all students and programs must go, for information, guidelines, and complete instructions about the 2022-23 CGS-D competition. 

There is NOT one harmonized CGS-D application.  Each agency has its own CGS-D application and application portal.

The applications are located as follows:

  • CIHR
  • NSERC
  • SSHRC

The funding is to provide financial assistance to Ph.D. students who are in the final stages of writing their theses. The goal is to have students who receive TCF complete their program during the time they are holding TCF.

Only Full-Time Ph.D. Students who are in the 5th year of their program (for the tenure term of the funding) are eligible. Under the SGSPA terms of accepting this funding, the recipient of the funding cannot hold Teaching Assistantships, Teaching Fellowships, or Research Assistantships during the period of the funding. Students who receive TCF are not eligible to receive any subsequent awards from the SGSPA, including QGA.

Funding will be allocated based on:

  1. the viability of the plan for completing the thesis and degree program within the tenure term of the funding;
  2. academic merit;
  3. the financial need of the student; a full-time student in 5th year who is eligible for this funding (i.e., not holding a TA, TF, or RA and not exceeding the ten hours per week (average) of work rule for full-time status) is determined by the Department to be in financial need.

Student Deadline: October 10, 2022 is the deadline to submit hard copies of your application to Kristina.
