Canada Graduate Scholarships

Scholarship Description

Canada Graduate Scholarships-MSFSS supports high-caliber Canadian graduate students in building global linkages and international networks through the pursuit of exceptional research experiences abroad. The program of research must be primarily in the social sciences and humanities (i.e., aligned with SSHRC’s legislated mandate). Applicants must be citizens or permanent residents of Canada.

Supplements of up to $6,000 are available to active CGS (master’s or doctoral) or eligible Vanier CGS holders to help offset the costs of undertaking research studies outside Canada for a defined period. A total of 250 awards are available each year and are divided among the three agencies-the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
