An estate gift from Professor Nora Cebotarev supports a $25,000 scholarship annually for an academically outstanding female from a developing country entering either a masters or doctoral program at the University of Guelph. The award is payable over 2 years for masters students, and over 3 years for doctoral recipients. This award may be held jointly with other funding offered by the University.

Award recipients will be selected on the basis of academic achievement, combined with a demonstrated commitment to social change. Acceptance of this scholarship can be deferred for up to one academic year from time of initial award, with a deferred acceptance of entry to a University of Guelph graduate program.

Application materials to pursue studies at the University of Guelph received by February 1st will be considered as application for this award. A nomination letter from the Graduate Coordinator confirming the applicant’s suitability for this award, together with a copy of the application materials, should be forwarded to the Office of Graduate Studies by February 15th each year.
