ELIGIBILITY

The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario is continuing to offer a limited number of Master's Studentship awards to highly qualified candidates who have completed or are in the last year of a Baccalaureate degree. Candidates will undertake full-time training in cardiovascular/cerebrovascular research under an identified academic supervisor. Please note that graduates possessing a medical degree must apply to the national HSF Fellowship program. Candidates must not hold another major award concurrently. The awardee may not have held a prior faculty appointment.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• Master's studentships are tenable at Ontario universities to Canadian Citizens and permanent residents of Canada studying in Ontario who have achieved a minimum of 80% on course work completed in the last two years of study.
• Each award is granted for up to two years. The award will normally commence on July 1 (but no later than January 1 of the following year), and run for 12 consecutive months. This will include reasonable holiday time by arrangement with the supervisor.
• Awards will take effect only after the recipient has registered full-time in an eligible (i.e., relevant to cardiovascular/cerebrovascular research) Master's program. A statement of acceptance of the student into a graduate program must be forwarded to the Foundation by the university.
