Canada Graduate Scholarship Foreign Study Supplement (CGS-FSS)

As announced by the Government of Canada in Budget 2008, the federal granting agencies will be administering the Canada Graduate Scholarships Foreign Study Supplements (CGS-FSS). The program will be administered by Canada's federal granting agencies - SSHRC, NSERC and CIHR. A total of 250 CGS-FSS awards will be available and divided among the three granting agencies.

**Objectives:* * The CGS-FSS program will support high-calibre Canadian graduate students in building global linkages and international networks through the pursuit of exceptional research experiences at research institutions outside of Canada. By accessing international scientific research and training, CGS-FSS recipients will contribute to strengthening the potential for collaboration between Canadian universities and affiliated research institutions and universities, or other research institutions outside of Canada.

**Value and Duration of Supplements: * * The value of the CGS-FSS is up to $6,000, based on the information and budget justification provided in the application. A defined research study period would normally be three to six months.

**Eligibility:* * To be eligible to apply for the CGS-FSS program, applicants must: -be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada; -be registered at an eligible Canadian institution at the time of application; and -hold an active Canada Graduate Scholarship at the Master's or Doctoral level or a Vanier CGS

Successful applicants must maintain full-time graduate research studies, and an active CGS or Vanier CGS during the course of their CGS-FSS supplement funded activities in order to remain eligible. Eligible applicants can only take up one CGS-FSS while they hold an active CGS or Vanier CGS and must do so within one year of receiving the appropriate notification of award letter.

The Faculty of Graduate Studies internal deadlines are *May 11, 2009 and September 10, 2009.* Students are encouraged to apply for the May competition, as the quota may be filled before the September competition. Complete application forms should be submitted to:
