Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship Doctoral

Eligibility

• You must be nominated by a Canadian institution with a quota to host Vanier scholars. You should only seek a nomination from the institution at which you want to study. You cannot submit your application without a nomination letter from your University.

• You must commence or be pursuing your first doctoral degree, and have completed no more than 20 months of full-time study in your doctoral program by May 1 of the following calendar year of application (no more than 32 months if transferred directly from a bachelor’s to a PhD or enrolled in a joint program).

• You should not have already received a doctoral-level scholarship or fellowship from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) or the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).

Application

* Concordia has an internal application deadline.

This competition requires a University nomination. You cannot apply directly to the Vanier CGS program. If you are interested, you should contact your Graduate Program Director to discuss nomination from the department.

Once Department nomination is obtained, you must prepare your application and submit it to Concordia University by our internal deadline using the ResearchNet application system.

Disbursement process

The Tri-Agency Award Holder’s Guide requires that you remain registered and in good academic standing in your graduate program. Once Concordia University confirms this, recipients of Tri-Agency scholarships and awards will have their payments deposited to their student account five working days after DNE deadline each term.
