FGSR Graduate Scholarship Base Fund (GSBF)

Holders of these awards are required to be admitted as a fully-qualified student in a Master's or Doctoral degree program at the University of Regina. PhD students must have a minimum of a first class average (equivalent to a minimum of 80%) at their previous institution. Master's students must have a minimum of 75% coming into their Master's and must maintain 80% throughout their Master’s program. University of Regina Graduate Fellowship (URGF) and University of Regina Graduate Awards (URGA) offers will only be given with an offer of admission to a thesis-based graduate program and including MAP's MFA's & PhD's Thesis Project (Research Creation Students).

Eligibility

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.

Credit hour restriction – Students who have completed the minimum number of credit hours required for their program are NOT eligible for these funds.

Required – Grad Thrive Plus GRST 801 (previously 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 or part time - Recipients of the UR Graduate Scholarship are required to be registered in the semester in which the funding is to be received and, accordingly, are required to register in no fewer than 3 credit hours of course or thesis work pertaining to their program during the corresponding semester. All awardees are required to be registered by the 5th 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.

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.

Employment – There is no restriction on employment while holding this scholarship.

Funding Conflicts- Students supported under the Guaranteed Minimum Funding (GMF) program are not eligible to receive GSBF funds.
