For Research Students:
Graduate Fellowships from the National and Quebec Research Councils
Students who have an excellent academic record and who propose to undertake M.Sc.,听Ph.D., or postdoctoral training under the supervision of an SCSD faculty member may be eligible for competitive fellowships offered by Canadian or Quebec research funding councils. Most of the deadlines for these competitions fall during the fall semester prior to entering a graduate program, so it pays to plan ahead! 缅北强奸's Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies website provides a detailed summary of Graduate Student funding opportunities and deadlines.
Students who are successful in obtaining their own research funding can have many advantages; it may be easier for these students to secure a research supervisor and these awards help students progress through their program in a timely manner and to attract additional types of competitive awards and funding as their career progresses.
Canadian citizens and permanent residents may apply to one of the three national research councils, depending on the focus of the research they intend to conduct in the SCSD:
- if the main research focus is health-related, most apply to the ;
- if the main research focus is to understand (neuro)psychological processes underlying human communication, most apply to the ;
- if the main research focus is language or the role of social processes/factors in human communication, consider applying to the .听
If you are resident of Quebec:
Residents of Quebec, and in some cases听International students who are already residing temporarily in Quebec, may be eligible for other sources of funding or "training awards" from:
- the 听- health-related research, including a program for prospective research students who hold a health professions听license;
- the 听- social sciences research

Besner Award for the Study of Human Communication Neuroscience听
This award supports research that advances knowledge of the relationship between language, communication, and the human brain, through studies focused on adults with acquired language impairments (e.g., neurovascular or neurodegenerative disorders). Projects that use neuroimaging to understand the neuro-cognitive basis of human communication and language are also admissible.
听
The Besner Award will be given annually to a Ph.D. student registered in 缅北强奸's School of Communication Sciences and Disorders who is conducting research on human communication neuroscience, broadly construed. The term of the award is one year (with possibility of renewal).
