TRI-Agency & Government Awards

External and Government Awards are funded through private, provincial, or federal sources. The application process for these may differ but in most cases students use the granting agency application or application system. In some cases, SFU handles the adjudication process and in some cases SFU only handles the award payment.

Use the table below to discover which external funding opportunities are available to support your research. At SFU, we pride ourselves in having a solid success rate for applicants of external funding and resources in place to assist students seeking these opportunities.
