Reminder: Canada Graduate Scholarships - NSERC, SSHRC & CIHR
by Rowena Krentz 26 Nov '14

26 Nov '14

Hello everyone, Please be reminded that the Canada Graduate Scholarships Master's for NSERC, SSHRC & CIHR is due on Monday, December 1st. Please forward this reminder to eligible students and note that they need to submit their application online through the Research Portal. There are no internal deadlines before December 1st and late applications will not be considered. I received several inquiries regarding transcripts submission for the award. Per the CGSM guidelines, students are to upload scanned copies of their official transcripts. They are also encouraged to retain the envelope in which the transcripts was issued in case they are successful and the hard copy is requested by Ottawa. If you need further clarification, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you Rowena ________________________________________________ Rowena Krentz | Awards Officer | Faculty of Graduate Studies University of Manitoba | Rm 500 University Centre Winnipeg, MB Canada | R3T 2N2 Phone: (204) 474-9836 | Fax: (204) 474-7553 www.umanitoba.ca/graduate_studies Effective September 1, 2013, the university will only use your UofM email account for all communications, including messages from your professors, department, advisors and administrative offices.
