Walter C. Sumner Memorial Fellowships

Canadian citizens who are residents of Canada and who are registered or about to begin doctoral studies in Chemistry, Physics, Electrical Engineering, or Computer Science at a participating university (including the University of Toronto) may apply. Permanent residents are ineligible. Preference goes to those born in Nova Scotia, then other Atlantic provinces. Applicants must hold a degree from a Canadian university other than the one where they will hold the fellowship; bachelor's-only applicants need at least two years of teaching or industry experience in the field. Up to 40 fellowships are awarded nationally, approximately $8,000 for one year (value may vary at the Foundation's discretion).

Submit the application form, proof of citizenship, transcripts, and referee forms to your graduate unit by its internal deadline.
