Killam 2018 Doctoral Scholarships At University Of British Columbia, Canada
3 min read
Killam 2018 Doctoral Scholarships at the University Of British Columbia (UBC) is now accepting applications from suitably qualified candidates for its 2018 Killam 2018 Doctoral Scholarships. The deadline for submission of application for Killam Doctoral Scholarship is September 17, 2018.
Killam Scholarship and Prize Programmes were established in memory of
Izaak Walton Killam through the Will of his wife, Dorothy Johnston
Killam, and through gifts made during her lifetime.
Their primary
purpose is to support advanced education and research at five Canadian
universities and the Canada Council for the Arts.
The UBC Killam
Doctoral Scholarships are provided annually from the Izaak Walton Killam
Memorial Fund for Advanced Studies. It was Mrs. Killam’s desire that
those selected to receive scholarships: “Be likely to contribute to the
advancement of learning or to win distinction in a profession.
A Killam
scholar should not be a one-sided person…Special distinction of
intellect should be founded upon sound character.”
Killam Doctoral
Scholarships are the most prestigious awards available to graduate
students at UBC. Approximately 15-20 awards are made each year to the
top doctoral candidates in the Affiliated Fellowships competition. The
stipend for the 2018-2019 awards is $30,000 per annum for two years and a
$2,000 allowance for research-related travel during the 24 months of
the scholarship.
The Killam Doctoral Scholarship is the only Affiliated Fellowship competition for which Okanagan students
are eligible. Any Canadian or Permanent Resident who applies to a
Tri-Council competition (NSERC or SSHRC) and is successfully forwarded
to UBC Vancouver will be automatically considered for Killam Doctoral
Scholarship funding.
In the case of international students and any
Canadian or permanent resident that is ineligible for Tri-council
funding but would like to apply for Killam Doctoral Scholarship funding,
an Affiliated Fellowship application can be submitted to the College of
Graduate Studies.
Annual Value: $30,000 per annum for two years and a $2,000 allowance for research-related travel during the 24 months of the scholarship.
