Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships

The Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarships (CGS) program is designed to attract and retain world-class doctoral students by supporting students who demonstrate both leadership skills and a high standard of scholarly achievement in graduate studies in the social sciences and humanities, natural sciences and engineering, and health-related fields. Canadian citizens, permanent residents of Canada, and international students are eligible to be nominated for a Vanier Scholarship, which is valued at $50,000 per year for up to three years.

The application is completed online on ResearchNet:
https://www.researchnet-recherchenet.ca/rnr16/LoginServlet

UBC Vanier application deadline: 12 noon (PDT – Vancouver time) on Thursday, 2 September 2021

Graduate program nomination deadline: 4:00 pm PDT on Tuesday, 21 September 2021.

Note:

  • Given the continuing challenges related to COVID-19 and the difficulty of obtaining/processing paper transcripts, it is recommended that applicants order official transcripts that can be sent electronically from their previous institutions to UBC, rather than by mail, where possible.
  • Vanier CGS requires official transcripts – unofficial transcripts are not accepted for non-UBC transcripts.  For details on transcript requrements, applicants are recommended to review our Vanier webpage (section ‘ Application Procedures’).

For more information, including eligibility requirements, application procedures, and nomination procedures, please visit our Vanier webpage: https://www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/vanier-scholarship

Important note on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion:  The Vanier CGS program encourages equity, diversity and inclusion, as part of the Tri-Agency’s broader commitment to excellence in research and research training in Canada. Resources for applicants, institutions, referees and the selection committees are available at: http://www.vanier.gc.ca/en/equity_diversity_inclusion-equite_diversite_inclusion.html. Applicants are encouraged to review the resources before they begin writing their application.
