Concordia Graduate Out-of-Province Award (Thesis Master's)

What you will need

• ✓ Completed admission application for a thesis-based master's program at Concordia University (there is no separate application for this award)

About this award

You get approximately $10,000 for the entire program. This is a scholarship, not a loan, so you do not have to pay it back. The money works by reducing your tuition fees so that you pay the same rate as students from Quebec. This is for you if you are a Canadian student moving from another province to pursue a research-focused master's degree. Your deadline is the admissions deadline for your specific program. The award is built into your application for admission, so there is no separate application. Selection is handled during the admission process. Selection criteria aren't published — ask Concordia University — School of Graduate Studies how winners are chosen and roughly how many applicants they typically receive so you can judge your odds. The money is distributed over your full-time terms. Payments are issued five (5) working days after the DNE date of each term, once your full-time registration is confirmed. Ask Concordia University — School of Graduate Studies during your application if the funds are applied directly to your tuition account or sent to you. Renewal conditions aren't listed — if you're counting on this for multiple years, confirm with Concordia University — School of Graduate Studies whether it's one-time or renewable and what you need to maintain.

Who qualifies

To qualify, you must be a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident. You must be admitted to a thesis-based master's program at Concordia University. Additionally, you must be an out-of-province student, which means you are not a resident of Quebec.
