UBC Deadlines for the Tri-Agency CGS-M / Affiliated Fellowships Master’s Competitions

• Applicant deadline:1 December 2021 before 5:00 pm PST
• Graduate program nomination deadline:  Late January (nomination deadline will be indicated in December)

CGSM and Affiliated Fellowships-Master’s information session

• Interested applicants are invited to attend the CGSM information session on Friday, October 22 from 10:30 to 12:00.  REGISTER HERE.

What you can do now:

• Importance of the application deadline.  CGS-M applications cannot be submitted or edited after the application deadline.  Late applications will be ruled ineligible. The CGS-M application deadline is set nationally by the CGS-M funding agency and is not flexible.
• Please ask for reference letters early and to send the instructions to your referees
  http://www.nserc-crsng.gc.ca/ResearchPortal-PortailDeRecherche/Instructions-Instructions/CGSM_REF-BESCM_REF_eng.asp.
• Check early if you have all of your official transcripts for all previous studies (including transfer credits). Transcript guidance for applicants is outlined on our CGS-M webpage.
• Note that although the SISC academic history document is accepted for UBC CGS-M applications, it may not be accepted by other universities in Canada, so students applying elsewhere for the CGSM in addition to UBC should order official UBC transcripts.
• It would help us greatly if you are using the same email in your CGS-M Research Portal login as in eVision or SIS. This is absolutely not a requirement, but it helps route the applications to correct programs quicker after the application deadline.
