2011/2012 NSERC PGS/CGS Competition

by Marcia Yoshida

September 2, 2010 To: All NSERC Eligible Departments Re: _2011/2012 __NSERC PGS/CGS Competition _ The application process for the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council's Postgraduate Scholarships (PGS) and Canada Graduate Scholarships (CGS) programs have moved to a fully electronic submission system for this year’s competition. Students will continue to complete their applications using NSERC’s online system, but will no longer be required to print and sign paper copies. As in the past few competitions, NSERC no longer requires departmental appraisals. As a result we are no longer requesting that departments review and rank the applications prior to submission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies. While a departmental review is not required, departments are strongly encouraged to assist their students by reviewing applications, in particular the proposal, and helping students to submit the best application possible. Applicants must apply online and submit official transcripts in sealed envelopes to my attention at 500 University Centre by the Faculty of Graduate Studies deadline which is *October 11, 2010.* We will be distributing this information to all graduate students our weekly award email announcement this Friday, but I would like to ask for your assistance in distributing our deadline to students in your department, including fourth year undergraduate students. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you. -- ============================ Marcia Yoshida Awards Officer Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Manitoba Phone: (204) 474-9836 ============================
