The Canada Graduate Research Scholarships – Master’s (CGRS-M) Program provides one year of financial support to high-caliber scholars engaged in eligible graduate programs in Canada. It primarily supports master’s students, with some doctoral programs also eligible. The award allows recipients to concentrate fully on their studies in their chosen fields.
The College of Graduate Studies at UBC’s Okanagan campus offers the scholarship among its graduate funding options and fellowships. The program’s stated emphasis is on supporting scholars’ graduate studies over the award year, rather than identifying a particular research topic or disciplinary priority.
