Awards and Scholarships

The University of Alberta offers a wide variety of awards and scholarships that graduate students are encouraged to apply for. Most awards are first adjudicated at the Department level. The Biological Sciences Graduate Studies Office will set an internal deadline for applications and the nominees will then be forwarded to FGSR. The Grad Office will notify graduate students of upcoming competitions with information on the application process, eligibility requirements and deadlines. For award policies and information on holding an award please see the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) Scholarships & Awards Manual.
