Graduate Fellowships

 

Graduate Fellowship (GF)
The Graduate Fellowship (GF) is a one-term award normally valued at $6,250.  Academic units, however, have the option of awarding partial GFs (.5) valued at $3,125. Applicants may be eligible to receive up to a maximum of two full GFs, or four partial GFs, during an academic year (September 1 - August 31).

 

To be eligible to hold a GF, the applicant must be registered as a full-time, regular (not "on-leave" or "part-time") student and must normally have a minimum grade point average of 3.50. In exceptional cases, other evidence of outstanding ability may outweigh this criterion.

 

Applicants should first read the GF Terms of Reference to ensure they meet all of the criteria for this award. 
Eligible students apply through their department of enrolment by completing an "Application for a Graduate Fellowship" form located in the "Forms and Resources" page. It is the student's responsibilty to sign it and attach any required documents/transcripts. Applicants submit the complete GF application package to their academic supervisor for further comment and signature. When these steps have been taken, the GF application and accompanying documents must be submitted by the departmental deadline to the Graduate Program Assistant/Secretary in the department of enrolment.
