Joseph-Armand BombardierCanada Graduate Scholarships – Master’s

The J.-Armand Bombardier CGS Master’s program offers one-time non-renewable twelve-month awards, valued at $17,500, and tenable only at recognized Canadian universities, to applicants who will be registered as full-time students in a master's program and in a discipline supported by SSHRC.

Successful applicants must take up their awards in May 2009, September 2009, or January 2010. The January start date is available only to award holders who cannot begin their program of study earlier, either because of an incomplete previous degree or because their chosen program of study is not available until the later date.



To qualify to apply to this program, you must:• be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada; • be applying for support to pursue your first graduate degree (i.e., master's

or equivalent) and not have completed more than 12 months of full-time graduate study at the proposed start date of the award: all previous studies at the graduate level, regardless of discipline, will be included in determining eligibility;

• have achieved a first-class average, as determined by your university, in each of the last two years of full-time study or equivalent;

• not have already received an award for master's-level study from SSHRC, NSERC or CIHR;

• not be applying for graduate funding in the 2009-2010 academic year to NSERC or CIHR;

• not be pursuing a degree program that combines undergraduate and graduate degrees.



Notes

• If you are or will be registered in a combined MA/PhD program, you must apply to the Doctoral Awards program for funding.

• If you completed your bachelor's degree before January 1, 2004 (date all degree requirements were completed, not date of graduation) and have not been registered at a university since that date, you are not eligible to apply to this program.

• A qualifying or "make-up" year of study is not eligible for support.• It is imperative to read all eligibility criteria available on the SSHRC

website as well as all the guidelines on how to complete your application
