Special Awards and Bursaries
Special awards are open to students from more than one program and support a particular area of interest or field of study. Bursaries are open to students who meet the eligibility criteria and are assessed as having financial need equal to or greater than the value of the bursary.
Selection Criteria
As well as confirming academic merit, adjudicators confirm the applicant meets the field of study or other specific eligibility criteria stated in the terms of reference. The applicant is then ranked against all other applicants for that particular award. It is important for students to consult the terms of reference for each award within the special awards and bursary competition in order to ensure that any special eligibility requirements are met.

The reference letters should be on institutional/organizational letterhead and should be sent from an institutional/organizational fax number or e-mail address (Yahoo or Hotmail addresses will not be accepted).

The FGS will not follow up to obtain the form or the letter if either one is omitted from the application package.
- up to date copies of student's transcripts (including UofC transcripts even if no marks are assigned), certified as true copies of the original by the program and included in a sealed and signed envelope before they are handed to the student.
