. It may be necessary for a successful candidate to enter a MSc program and then reapply for support to continue on in a PhD program.

The deadline for the 2007 competition is June 11.

Candidates should submit a completed application form (available from website) which includes a statement of interest, an identified advisor at Guelph, an outline of the research proposal, transcript of university grades, three letters of recommendation and a curriculum vitae. Candidates awarded these fellowship will begin at the start of a University of Guelph semester (September, May, January). Successful candidates would be expected to apply for nationally-funded fellowships during the course of their studies.
