Call for Applications: Aboriginal Graduate Fellowship Bridge Funding – Deadline: June 13, 2022

Aboriginal Graduate Fellowship Bridge Funding

The Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies will match funds provided by graduate programs (to a maximum of $8,000 per student and to a maximum of $50,000 for the program in total) to support Master’s Indigenous students registered at the UBC-Vancouver campus for the 2022/23 academic year (i.e., from 1 September 2022 to 31 August 2023). This funding is intended to support students until they can apply for the next regular Aboriginal Graduate Fellowship competition in February 2023. It is also intended to support students who were not successful in receiving other funding, such as Tri-Agency CGSM, Affiliated Fellowships etc., for the 2022/23 academic year.

Students who already hold significant funding ($16,000/year or greater) for the 2022/23 academic year will not be considered for AGF Bridge funding.  The AGF Bridge is specifically meant to “bridge” applicants who lack funding until they can apply for major award competitions in the fall and spring.

Application deadline: Friday, 13 June 2022 at 8:00 am PT

  • Annual Value: up to $8,000 per student from the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, funds must be matched by the graduate program
