For any LFS Master’s level student who plans to apply for CGSM or Affiliated Fellowships – please check your eligibility before submitting an application. The GPA required is a 1st class standing in EACH of the last 2 years of full time study. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Lia Dragan (Graduate Programs Office, LFS) at lfs.gradapp@ubc.ca.
If you plan on submitting a CGSM or an Affiliated Fellowship application, please let me know by Friday, November 27th at the latest so that I can prepare your transcripts in advance. It is your responsibility to ensure any required transcript is received by the LFS Graduate Office by December 1st
To be eligible, applicants must have completed, as of December 31, 2015, between zero and 12 months of full time studies (or full-time equivalent) in:
- the master’s program for which they are requesting funding; or
- the doctoral program for which they are requesting funding if they were admitted into a doctoral program directly from their bachelor’s program (they were never registered in a master’s program, or are registered in a combined Master’s-PhD program); or
- a master’s program, but are requesting funding for a doctoral program (an example is a student who is fast-tracked from a Master’s to a doctoral program within 12 months of starting their Master’s and is seeking funding for the first 12 months of their doctoral program)
