Info

2014. The January start date is available only to award holders who cannot begin their degree program earlier, either because of an incomplete previous degree or because their chosen degree program is not available until the later date. Eligibility to Apply To qualify to apply to this funding opportunity, students must: be a citizen or permanent resident of Canada; be applying for support to pursue their first graduate degree (i.e., master's or equivalent) not have completed more than 12 months of full-time graduate study at the proposed start date of the award (May 2013) all previous studies at the graduate level, regardless of discipline, will be included in determining eligibility); have achieved a first-class average of A- or higher, 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; and not be applying for graduate funding in the 2012-13 academic year to NSERC or CIHR. Students who have completed a bachelor's degree before January 1, 2008 (the date that they completed all degree requirements, not the graduation date) and have not been registered at a university since that date, are not eligible to apply to this funding opportunity. Eligibility of Degree Programs The scholarship is tenable only in degree programs that include significant research training. Research training normally involves at least one of the following three components: ü demonstrating the ability to conduct original research by the completion of a thesis, major scholarly paper, project, publication, performance, recital or exhibit; and/or ü completing course work in research methods and/or statistics appropriate for the discipline or field of study; and/or ü acquiring knowledge and experience sufficient to conduct, assess and interpret research and scholarship in the field. How to apply Students must apply using SSHRC’s web-based application form, then print, sign and submit their completed paper application and supporting documents to a graduate unit by their internal deadline. Students may not apply for both SSHRC Masters and SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships in the same year. Students are permitted to apply to OGS in the same year. A copy of SSHRC’s instructions for applicants is attached for your information.
Where to apply 1. Applicants currently registered (fall 2012) in a graduate or undergraduate degree program at a university, must apply through a graduate unit at their current university. 2. Applicants not currently registered, but completed their previous degree in 2012 or were registered anytime in 2012, must apply through the university that awarded their last degree, provided that university has a SSHRC allocation. 3. Applicants registered concurrently at a Canadian university and a foreign university must apply through the Canadian university, if that university has a CGS allocation. 4. All other applicants must apply directly to SSHRC by December 13, 2012. Graduate Units will accept SSHRC Masters applications from both masters and undergraduate students including students who are registered in a program at your unit and those who plan to pursue a master’s degree in a program offered by the unit (or an equivalent program offered at another Canadian university). Accordingly, we ask the unit not to take into consideration, whether the applicant plans make application to UofT or not. The ranking should be solely based on the evaluation criteria provided by SSHRC (see attached). Selection Process & Results The SGS Awards committee will review the eligible applications using SSHRC’s criteria (see attached). All students whose applications were received by SGS will be notified whether their application has been forwarded to SSHRC. Graduate units will advise students whose applications were not submitted to SGS of their status. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
