Scholarships at University of Saskatchewan

Postgraduate

Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship (Vanier CGS) was created to attract and retain world-class doctoral students and to establish Canada as a global centre of excellence in research and higher learning. It is worth $50,000 per year for three years and is available to both Canadian and international PhD students studying at Canadian universities.

To be considered for a Vanier CGS, you must:

• be nominated by only one Canadian university, which must have received a Vanier CGS allocation;
• be seeking financial support to pursue your first doctoral degree (or combined MA/PhD or MD/PhD; note that only the PhD portion of a combined degree is eligible for funding);
• intend to pursue, in the summer semester or the academic year following the announcement of results, full-time doctoral (or combined MA/PhD or MD/PhD) studies and research at the nominating university. Note that only the PhD portion of a combined degree is eligible for funding;
• have completed no more than 20 months of doctoral studies as of May 1, 2019 (see Calculating months of doctoral studies);
• have achieved a first-class average, as determined by your university, in each of the last two years of full-time study or equivalent (candidates are encouraged to contact the university for its definition of a first-class average); and
• not have already received a doctoral-level scholarship or fellowship from CIHR, NSERC or SSHRC to undertake or complete a doctoral degree.

Without exception, the Vanier CGS is tenable only at the eligible Canadian university that submitted the nomination.

To hold the Vanier CGS, the candidate must:

• be registered as a full-time student at the nominating Canadian university and be pursuing a doctoral degree (or combined MA/PhD or MD/PhD); and
• remain enrolled and demonstrate continued satisfactory progress in their doctoral program.
