UBC Engineering announces...
top-ups for NSERC scholars
*** IMPORTANT NOTICE ***
The UBC Engineering top-up financial package described below is being discontinued and will NOT be available to students who begin to receive payments from new NSERC graduate scholarships after March 1, 2012. Individual engineering units may choose to offer NSERC top-ups; in any case, units will continue to use all funding earmarked for graduate student support to provide financial awards to their graduate students.
UBC Engineering now offers guaranteed minimum top-up financial packages to new NSERC CGS-M, PGS-M, CGS-D and PGS-D scholarship recipients—either current or incoming students with an NSERC scholarship start date on or after January 1, 2009—in any one of the engineering programs at UBC Vancouver or the School of Engineering at UBC Okanagan. These packages are on top of the NSERC financial awards.
Master’s students will receive a top-up stipend of $6,000 per year for the duration of their NSERC scholarship. CGS-D recipients will receive a top-up stipend of $10,000 per year for the duration of their NSERC scholarship. PGS-D recipients will receive a top-up stipend of $6,000 per year plus a tuition award valued at approximately $4,000 per year (for a total of approx. $10,000 per year) for the duration of their NSERC scholarship.
Note that individual engineering units may offer additional financial support in the form of stipends or teaching assistantships. Please check with individual units for more details:
