Internal + Donor Funded Awards
Internal and Donor Funded awards come from the University’s Scholarship, Bursary and Award funds, Academic Unit and/or Faculty budgets and the generosity of our donors.
Students must meet the following basic eligibility:
- Be registered full time in a research based graduate program at SFU while holding the award (note that you can apply for awards at any time, even if not registered)
- Meet any additional eligibility or criteria specific to the award
- Meet any additional criteria specific to the academic unit
Most awards are applied for in the Graduate Awards Application System (GA3). Award competitions are open in the spring; with student deadlines between May – June. Some units run additional competitions in the Fall and Spring terms — we recommend checking GA3 once per month for funding opportunities.
