CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC CGS Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplements – Spring 2025 Competition
The Canada Graduate Scholarships – Michael Smith Foreign Study Supplement (CGS-MSFSS) Program supports high-caliber Canadian graduate students in building global linkages and international networks through the pursuit of exceptional research experiences at research institutions abroad. By accessing international scientific research and training, CGS-MSFSS recipients will contribute to strengthening the potential for collaboration between Canadian and foreign institutions.
- Eligibility: Open to Canadian citizens or permanent residents who hold a Tri-Agency (CIHR, NSERC, or SSHRC) Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS) at the Master’s or doctoral level or a Vanier CGS.
- Please note that international students who hold a Vanier CGS are not eligible for this award. SSHRC Doctoral Fellowship holders and NSERC PGSD holders are also not eligible (as they do not hold a “CGS”).
- Value: Up to $6,000 for 2 to 6 months research study abroad
- Application deadline: 4:00 pm PT on May 16, 2025, to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (Applicants apply directly to G+PS)
*Note: This will be the final launch of the MSFSS program in its current format; there will not be a Fall competition in 2025. The supplement will be rebranded and redesigned as a supplement for the new harmonized Canada Research Training Awards Suite in 2026.
