If you are currently an MSc student and interested in applying to a PhD program you should take a look at the Vanier scholarships program. These are competitive scholarships worth $50,000 per year for 3 years. For students interested in joining the math.epi.lab at the University of Guelph please contact Dr. Greer to discuss your application package and research proposal. Universities have internal deadlines that must be met (which are often well in advance of the actual external scholarship deadline).
