TRI-Agency & Government Awards

Tri-agency & Government Awards are funded through private, provincial, or federal sources. The application process for these may differ but in most cases students use the granting agency application or application system. In some cases, SFU handles the adjudication process and in some cases SFU only handles the award payment.

This page lists External and Government awards adjudicated through Graduate Studies. There may be more opportunities available, listed on the agencies that students apply for directly.
