INRS Scholarships and Financial Support — Social Sciences Sector

• Universal doctoral scholarships: CA$5,000 in the first year and CA$4,000 in each of the two following years.
• Specialization scholarships (master's): minimum CA$2,000 per year (no maximum), for 1 to 2 years; exact amount varies year to year depending on what individual professors offer.
• Specialization scholarships (doctoral): minimum CA$2,000 per year (no maximum), for 1 to 4 years; exact amount varies year to year depending on what individual professors offer.
• Supplementary scholarship beyond the eligible period: an optional top-up a supervisor may pay at their discretion once a student has used up their eligible funding period.

No deadline: the scholarship application is the student's admission file itself.

1. Apply for admission to a master's or doctoral programme in the INRS social sciences sector through the Bureau du registraire / IDE portal.
2. No separate scholarship application is required — eligibility and award are assessed from the admission file.

If INRS offers a scholarship of equal or greater value, or longer duration, than one obtained from an external body, the student may receive a supplementary scholarship covering the difference between the two sources of funding, provided the funding is coordinated. If the external scholarship is of greater value than the INRS one, the INRS scholarship is cancelled.
