Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada offers Canada Graduate Scholarships-Master’s Program for Canadians. The CGS M Program supports 2,500 students annually in all disciplines to high caliber scholars who are engaged in eligible Masters or, in some cases, doctoral programs at a Canadian university with a CGS M allocation. Total offer is of $$17,500 for 12 months, non-renewable. The selection process and post-award administration are carried out at the university level, under the guidance of the three agencies. Students submit their application to the university at which they propose to hold their award via the Research Portal.
Study Subject(s): This scholarship allows these scholars to fully concentrate on their studies in their chosen fields. CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC support and promote high-quality research in a wide variety of disciplines and areas. This includes research that bridges two or more disciplines or that requires the skills of several disciplines. Applicants are asked in the CGS M application to categorize their proposed â€field of research†(i.e., health, natural sciences and engineering, social sciences and humanities). However, the universities are responsible for approving this categorization, and may override it if appropriate. This distinction is important because a university can only award these scholarships according to the agency-specific CGS M allocations they receive. Applicants must ensure that they are submitting their application to a university that has an allocation for the field of research they wish to pursue
