Awards & grants
Financial suppport for graduate students
The Chemistry Program considers financial support for students at the same time as admission. Separate applications are not necessary. We support full-time graduate students by research awards from their supervisors and by remuneration for teaching in undergraduate laboratories. Our level of support is competitive with other Canadian chemistry departments.
Awards, scholarships, grants
Full-time graduate students in the Department of Chemistry are supported by scholarships that rely on a number of funding sources, including the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Faculty of Graduate Studies Scholarship Fund, the Killam Trust Fund and the research grants of the supervisors.
Financial support is available for the period the student is engaged in full-time graduate degree preparation on the university campus. Normally, that is two years for MSc students, and four years for PhD students. If the student completes an MSc here, then immediately starts a PhD under the same supervisor, only three years of funding may be provided for the PhD.
Graduate students registered at 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 are eligible to apply for support for research travel.
Several awards are given to deserving graduate students in September based on accomplishments in research, coursework and teaching (TA). These are:
- Dr. Jean Cooley Graduate Fellowship in Analytical Chemistry
- Dr. Jean Cooley Conference Participation Grant
- Donald R. Arnold Scholarship
- Gerry Dauphinee Graduate Scholarship in Chemistry
- Douglas E. Ryan Prize for Excellence in Graduate Studies in Chemistry
- Anna Wilson Scholarship in Chemistry
- Kenneth T. Leffek Prize for the Best PhD Thesis in Chemistry
Nominations for university-wide prizes from the Department have resulted in awards of the Governor General Gold Medal, the President鈥檚 Graduate Teaching Assistantship Award and the 新加坡六合彩开奖直播 Doctoral Thesis Prize.
