Spring Graduate Awards Competition
The 2024 Spring Graduate Awards Competition is Open! Please find the eligibility and application details and forms here:
https://www.grad.ubc.ca/awards/spring-graduate-awards-competition
RHSC internal application deadline: Monday May 13, 2024 at 4:30 PM
Application Procedure: Applications will be accepted from current and incoming RHSC Students and Trainees. Submit a single application indicating as many of the Spring Graduate Awards as you are eligible for to rehab.gradprogram@ubc.ca.
Take note of the following important considerations:
- Eligibility: To be eligible to receive funding, applicants must meet both the overall eligibility requirements as outlined on the award webpage (ex. months of study) and all of the eligibility requirements for each individual Spring Graduate Award they apply for. Applicants will not be considered for an award if they do not clearly meet the criteria for the award.
- Selection: While award recipients will be selected based on the evaluation criteria, priority will be given to eligible candidates who do not hold significant scholarship funding (i.e., $16,000 or higher) for the 2024/2025 academic year (September 2024 to August 2025). If a student is offered Spring Awards funding, and later receives other scholarship funding of $16,000 or higher for the same period, the Spring Awards funding offer would normally be rescinded.
- Exception: Some of the Spring Graduate Awards have very niche award descriptions (eligibility requirements). For example, the #6362 award ‘James and Setsuko Thurlow Scholarship in Peace and Disarmament Studies’. If a Spring Graduate Award receives a very low number of eligible applications, it may be awarded to a student who already has significant scholarship funding.
