Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships

2013-2014 Doctoral Competition

The Vanier CGS program aims to attract and retain world-class doctoral students by supporting those who demonstrate both leadership skills and a high standard of scholarly achievement in graduate studies in social sciences and humanities, natural sciences and engineering, and health. Canadian and international students are eligible to be nominated for a Vanier CGS. Once in full operation, this program will support 500 international and Canadian doctoral students with highly prestigious scholarships. The Vanier CGS supports doctoral students with $50,000 per year for up to three years.

The scholarships are administered by Canada’s three federal granting agencies: the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research council (NSERC) and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC).  Every university has a quota of nominations that they can submit for the 2012-2013 competition, there are no CIHR scholarship nominations available.  Students may apply for SSHRC and NSERC Vanier scholarships only.
