Additional Information

  • In Good Standing – Students must hold and maintain a minimum 80% average. An incomplete and/or failing grade from the previous semester's work will render the student ineligible for support. Failure to continue to be fully eligible each semester while holding this scholarship will require the scholarship to be canceled.

    Post-Program Maintenance – Students who are, or will be, in post-program maintenance (i.e. have completed all formal credit hour degree requirements in the program and therefore register in GRST995AA, AB) are NOT eligible for these funds.

    Required – Grad Thrive Plus 800AA must be completed by the end of the first semester in which a student begins their program, in order to be eligible. Failure to complete this by the end of their first semester will require the scholarship to be discontinued.

    Registered Full-Time - Recipients of the UR Graduate Fellowships (URGF) and UR Graduate Awards (URGA) are required to be registered full-time in the semester in which the funding is to be received and, accordingly, are required to register in no fewer than six credit hours of course or thesis work pertaining to their program during the corresponding semester when there are outstanding, unfulfilled requirements (i.e. thesis or course credit) in their programs. For students having between three and five credit hours of unfulfilled requirements remaining, this remainder will determine the number of credit hours in which they are obliged to register to qualify for funding. All awardees are required to be registered full-time (for URGF and URGA) by the fifth day of the first month (January, May, or September) of the semester in which the award is to be paid, in order to meet payroll deadlines.

    Part-time students may only be awarded UR Graduate Scholarships (URGS). URGS awardees must also adhere to the registration dates above.

    Program Changes – If a student wishes to change their route or program, the effected departments and faculty must agree on graduate funding. Notification must be made to FGSR at the time of that change.

    Holders of Major Awards (value of $17,500 or over) – Students who are holding major awards such as national scholarships, i.e. NSERC, SSHRC or CIHR are NOT eligible for URGF funds. However, they are eligible for URGA and URGS funds.
