About this scholarship

For Canadian citizens, permanent residents, and protected persons with a first-class average (as determined by the host institution) who are pursuing an eligible research-based master's or, in some cases, doctoral program at a Canadian institution with a CGRS M allocation. This row is the CIHR stream of the Canada Graduate Research Scholarship Master's program (historically associated with the Frederick Banting and Charles Best name).

The award is $27,000 for 12 months and is non-renewable. Up to 3,000 students are supported annually across CIHR, NSERC, and SSHRC.

Submit one CGRS M application through the Research Portal to the institution where you intend to hold the award, by December 1 before 8:00 p.m. ET.
