Entrance Scholarships

Simon Fraser University offers entrance scholarships to the best incoming graduate students for full-time graduate study or research. All awards are contingent upon availability of funds.

The Provost Awards are top-up awards for national scholarship recipients from one of the tri-councils: NSERC, SSHRC or CIHR, or their country of origin.

Provost's Prize of Distinction (PPD)
The PPD will be awarded to run concurrently with the student's national scholarship. The value of the PPD is equivalent to the cost of tuition per term. 

Provost International Fellowship (PIF)
Awards for exceptional students sponsored by their country of origin, equivalent to the student's tuition fees per academic term. 

Please note: Students do not apply for these awards directly.
