Experience Seminary Day: To Explore Your Calling
Many external agencies offer scholarships and bursaries for seminary students. It is important to note that external agencies have defined policies regarding their awards and may restrict the amount of funding students can receive from other awards. These are just a few of the options:
The CGS-D program supports high-caliber students engaged in doctoral programs in all academic disciplines. This support allows scholars to fully concentrate on their doctoral studies, seek out the best research mentors in their chosen fields, and contribute to the Canadian research ecosystem during and beyond the tenure of their awards.
In addition to the CGS-D, each agency has its own doctoral awards. Refer to the appropriate literature for CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC for further details.
CIHR Health Research Training Award Programs. The Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) strives to ensure a strong foundation of future health research leaders and is committed to offering programs that increase the supply of highly-qualified research personnel.
NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships - Doctoral Program. The NSERC Postgraduate Scholarships – Doctoral (PGS D) program provides financial support to high-calibre scholars who are engaged in an eligible doctoral program in the natural sciences or engineering.

The CGS-M Program provides financial support to high-calibre scholars who are engaged in eligible master’s or, in some cases, doctoral programs in Canada (refer to eligibility). This support allows these scholars to fully concentrate on their studies in their chosen fields.
The CGS-M Program supports up to 3,000 students annually in all disciplines and is administered jointly by Canada’s three federal agencies: Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), The Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC). The selection process and post-award administration are carried out at the institutional level, under the guidance of the three agencies. Students submit their application to the institution at which they intend to hold their award using the Research Portal.
The scholarship value is $17,500 for 12 months. Students must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada.
