Objectives
The objective of the Government of Canada's Canada Graduate Scholarships program is to help ensure a reliable supply of highly qualified personnel to meet the needs of Canada's knowledge economy.



Eligibility
Eligibility criteria for all CIHR research funding programs apply. The business office of the institution of an eligible Nominated Principal Applicant generally administers CIHR funds. Please refer to the Eligibility Requirements for CIHR Grants and Awards regarding the eligibility requirements for individuals and institutions.

Specific to CIHR training awards, please refer to the General Guidelines for Training Programs.

Specific Eligibility Requirements

The award for which support is being sought should be under the supervision of a researcher who holds research funds obtained through a recognized competitive peer review process. These awards must be held at a Canadian institution.

Eligibility to Apply for an Award

To be considered eligible to apply for support, a candidate must:

be a Canadian citizen or a permanent resident;
at the time of the CIHR deadline for application (February 1st):
have completed or be in the last year of a Bachelor's degree; or,
have been registered for no more than ten months as a full-time student in a Master's program; or,
have been registered for no more than ten months as a full-time PhD student and were admitted to the PhD program directly from the Bachelor's degree.

not have already held an award from SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR or any other federal source to undertake and/or complete a Master's or PhD degree.
Persons with a health professional degree who seek support for Master's or PhD research training may be eligible to apply to this program, but should also consult the guidelines for the CIHR Fellowship award program. Those eligible for both have the option of applying to either program but not to both in the same year (i.e., September through August). Please note that a person holding a health professional degree would receive a higher stipend only through the CIHR Fellowship award program.

Eligibility to Hold an Award

To be considered eligible to hold support, a candidate must:

be registered full-time in the first or second year of a Master's or PhD program in which research is a major component (awards will not take effect until after proof of registration is received); and

Only candidates who are on a leave of absence for reasons of illness, parental leave, or health-related family responsibilities may be permitted to delay taking up the award until the June 1 following the offer of award. CIHR requires a letter from the candidate requesting the delayed start date with a supporting letter from the primary supervisor confirming the dates of the leave.
