Info Bourses - November

Did you know?

If you were registered full-time since beginning your program, you will continue to be considered as full-time for the purposes of financial assistance for students, study bursaries or immigration purposes (student visa). This will still be the case if you have not finished after 6 sessions (master) or twelve sessions (doctorate) and apply for an extension of one or more sessions.

IMPORTANT: If, for a given session, you study part time for a master’s with thesis or a doctorate, you will be considered a part-time student if you must register for less than 9 credits or “ACTIVIT” or “REDACT” towards the end of your program, or if you get an extension.

NSERC Master's Scholarships

When submitting an application, the applicant must enclose an updated OFFICIAL transcript and a transcript for the Fall 2024 semester, even if there are no marks indicated. This constitutes proof of registration in the study program. The application for the scholarship may be refused if these documents are not included.
