This funding is intended to support students until they can apply for the next regular Aboriginal Graduate Fellowship competition. It is also intended to support students who were not successful in receiving other funding, such as Tri-Agency CGS-Master’s, CIHR/NSERC/SSHRC doctoral awards, or UBC Affiliated Fellowships, etc., for the 2020/21 academic year.
Students who already hold significant funding ($16,000/year or greater) will not be considered for AGF Bridge funding. Award winners are selected on the basis of academic merit through a competition administered by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
