Important update: The SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships Program is no longer accepting applications. Please refer to the Canada Graduate REsearch Scholarships - Doctoral webpage for information on the new harmonized program.
As part of a larger harmonization of Tri-Agency graduate and postdoctoral funding programs, the SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships program will be folded into the Canada Graduate Research Scholarship – Doctoral (CGRS D) program effective for the fall 2025 competition. A significant change is that eligibility has been expanded to include international students who are enrolled in a doctoral program of study at an eligible Canadian institution at the time of application.
The information below is from the previous competition, provided here for reference.
Eligibility
Note: Both the SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships and the Canada Graduate Scholarships—Doctoral Scholarships (CGS D) are offered through one annual national competition. Applicants need to submit only one application to be considered for one or both awards. As each award has notable differences, applicants must read the descriptions for each award carefully to determine if they are eligible to apply and hold each award. Applicants eligible for both the SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships and CGS D Scholarships will automatically be considered for both awards.
Eligibility requirements that are specific to the SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships:
- SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships are tenable at any recognized institution in Canada or abroad. For the fellowship to be held abroad, the award holder must have completed a bachelor’s or master’s degree at a Canadian postsecondary institution. For award holders who do not meet this requirement, the fellowships are tenable only at recognized Canadian postsecondary institutions.
- Applicants must have completed no more than 48 months of full-time study in their doctoral program by December 31 of the calendar year of application
Complete eligibility criteria for the SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship are available on SSHRC's program webpage.
Note: Some eligibility requirements for the SSHRC Doctoral Fellowships differ from those of the CGS-D (e.g., months of study eligibility).
