$24,000/year for two years

As outlined in the CGPS policy on Centrally Administered Funding, a student may not hold two major internal institutional scholarships at the same time, or a major institutional scholarship and a major external scholarship.  A major scholarship is defined as equal to or more than $17,500 per year. Top-up awards and honorary scholarships at a reduced value may be combined with major scholarships. It is your responsibility to inform the College of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies of any such funding that you are receiving.

To be eligible to apply for a Dean's International Doctoral Scholarship, the following conditions must be met:

• Applicants must be continuing International students in a doctoral-level program at USask as of December 31, 2024.
• Applicants must have a minimum cumulative grade point average of 80.00%.
• Applicants must have completed no more than 24 months in a doctoral program at the time of application.

In addition to completing the online application, the following attachments will be required:

• Outline of Proposed Research (2 pages max.)
• Bibliography (5 pages max.)
• Canadian Common CV (Banting-Vanier template)
• Photocopies of official transcripts from all universities attended (unofficial University of Saskatchewan transcripts will be accepted). If your transcripts are in a language other than English or French, you are required to provide a certified translation of the document.

Presentation standards for the Outline of Proposed Research and Bibliography:

• Acronyms and abbreviations must be spelled out completely on initial appearance in text
• Pages must be 8 ½" x 11" (216mm x 279mm)
• Pages must be single-spaced, with no more than six lines of type per inch
• All text must be in 12 pt. Times New Roman font
• Condensed fonts will not be accepted
• Colour imagery is acceptable but the text should be in black
• All margins must be set at a minimum of ¾" (1.87 cm)
• Do not introduce hyperlinks or bookmarks in your documents (ensure that your software’s ‘Create bookmarks’ option is de-selected)

Each application must include two reference assessments. Assessments should be completed by individuals who are familiar enough with your research and/or other abilities that they can provide a meaningful commentary (for example, current or previous academic research supervisor, industrial supervisor, employment/volunteer supervisor, teacher or thesis advisor). Applicants must contact your proposed references to ensure they are willing to complete an online assessment.
