If a student has a successful final oral examination during the tenure of a scholarship, the award will be terminated at the end of the month in which the thesis is submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies, unless otherwise specified in the terms of reference of the award, or at the date of the termination of the award, whichever comes first. No student can receive a total of more than the minimum tri-council scholarship value (currently $17,300) from awards made in the Izaak Walton Killam Doctoral, Open Doctoral, Special Awards and Bursaries competitions, and Program Recommended Awards.
A student holding external awards with a total value equal to or greater than the minimum tri-council scholarship is not eligible for funding from the Special Awards and Bursaries competition, Program Recommended awards or the Open Doctoral competition (with the exception of an Honorary Izaak Walton Killam Doctoral Scholarship).
A student who is awarded both a University of Calgary scholarship (or combination of awards) and an external award equal to or greater than the amount stated above must take up the external award at the earliest possible date and decline the University of Calgary scholarship(s) effective on that same date. In such a case, a student may include the offer of the forfeited award on a curriculum vitae.
The Dean’s Entrance Scholarship (DES), Graduate Teaching Fellowships (GTF) and Travel Awards are not subject to the limits just described. Similarly, funds awarded by programs from their Graduate Student Support allocation are not subject to this limit.
Before accepting other forms of awards or remuneration, especially those involving service, students must check with the Graduate Scholarship Office, to ensure that acceptance of the award does not affect the holder's full-time registration status.
Students holding multiple year funding must submit a Scholarship Progress Report to the Faculty of Graduate Studies Scholarship Office not later than the end of the eleventh month of the registration year.
