125th Anniversary Scholarship
The SOGS 125th Anniversary Scholarship is administered by the Academic Committee of the Society of Graduate Students. The Academic Committee will award the scholarships as it sees fit, using grade point average and contributions to the academic community as criteria in their evaluation. Contribution to the academic community is to be defined as publications, academic conference participation and similar achievements. The above criteria being equal between two or more applicants, the Academic Committee may take into account the applicants' contributions to the university community and the greater community.

The Academic Committee shall award four scholarships of $1250.00 each. Two scholarships will be awarded to Master's students and two scholarships will be awarded to PhD. students.

In order to apply for the scholarship, the applicant must be a member of the society. Additionally, the applicant must be able to demonstrate that he or she receives less in funding from the university and other academic sources (scholarships and bursaries already expected) than he or she pays in tuition fees. Applications which demonstrate that students receive more in funding than they pay in tuition will not be considered. The applicant will be required to release their financial information from the university to be made available to the Academic Committee.

The deadline for application to the Scholarship program will be that of the Society's Bursary application deadline. The deadline will be Monday February 28, 2011 at 4pm.

The 125th Anniversary Scholarship Application Form and Instructions to Apply is available by download only in an Adobe .PDF format, which must be printed out and completed by the applicant, and submitted with all transcripts and authorizing signatures in the SOGS office.
