About this opportunity

The Canada Graduate Research Scholarship – Master's (which replaced the CGS M) gives $27,000 for 12 months to students starting or early in a master's or doctoral program at a Canadian institution with a CGRS M allocation. You must be a Canadian citizen, permanent resident or protected person, have completed no more than 12 months of full-time study in the program by December 31, and usually have a first-class average in your last two years. The deadline is December 1 at 8pm ET. Talk to your target school's graduate office early — some set internal deadlines before that.
