The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies offers approximately 50 Affiliated Fellowships each year to meritorious students for full-time study and/or research leading to a graduate degree. Awards are made on the basis of academic excellence, with applications open to current and prospective full-time UBC graduate students.

ELIGIBILITY:

Academic Standing: Students with a minimum first-class standing in each of the last two years of full-time study are eligible to apply. GPA is calculated using all courses taken in a given year. For UBC courses, first-class standing is 80% and higher. At other universities, first-class standing is determined from marking keys that accompany transcripts. For transcripts that are not accompanied by marking keys, applicants should consult with their UBC graduate program staff.

Citizenship: All students, regardless of citizenship, are eligible to apply. However, Canadian citizens and permanent residents are required to apply for Canada Graduate Research Scholarships-Master’s (CGRS M) (or doctoral funding from CIHR, NSERC, or SSHRC), if they are eligible to do so, to additionally be considered for Affiliated funding.

Fields of Study / program of study: Students must be enrolled in, have applied for, or will apply for full-time admission to an eligible graduate program.
