Tri-Council Awards
Graduate students with a first-class average (minimum of 80%) are required to apply for funding to the relevant granting council. These awards are very competitive. If obtained, they provide substantial support for full-time students.
The three primary sources of funding are the:
- Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Fellowships.
- Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) Fellowships.
- Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Scholarships.
