You now have the financial means to make your studies a reality, thanks to this ambitious Université de Sherbrooke Graduate Research Excellence Scholarship Program.
It's our way of making a direct contribution to enabling you to free yourself from certain financial obligations and fully dedicate yourself to your graduate studies.
The Université de Sherbrooke Graduate Research Excellence Scholarship Program aims to provide financial support for outstanding students seeking research training at the master's or doctoral level. This includes disciplines in engineering, natural sciences, humanities and social sciences, as well as health sciences.
The establishment of a dedicated fund for this program made it possible to offer two types of excellence scholarships: the Université de Sherbrooke Research Excellence Scholarships and the Laurent and Claire B. Beaudoin Excellence Scholarships.
A Université de Sherbrooke Excellence Scholarship has a significant leverage effect when the scholarship holder applies for a scholarship from an external granting agency. The prior receipt of a major scholarship is considered a criterion of excellence by provincial and federal agencies when reviewing applications. A student who has already demonstrated excellence and received a major scholarship from their university quickly qualifies based on this selection criterion.
The number of scholarships awarded undergoes rigorous analysis to achieve a fair and optimal offer.
