Who can apply
- There is no citizenship bar, but there is a location bar, and the difference decides whether this is reachable from outside Canada. The default route requires you to be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident holding a valid RAMQ card at the competition deadline. An applicant who is neither is still eligible to apply, provided they submit proof of admission to a programme of study at a Quebec university or a consent form from their research supervisor. Those applicants must carry out their studies in Quebec and cannot use the scholarship for a cotutelle with a university outside Quebec. You must have been enrolled in a doctoral programme for no more than fourteen full-time terms before 1 May 2027, or twenty terms for direct-entry or fast-tracked candidates. An applicant not yet enrolled in a doctoral programme at the deadline may still apply if they intend to begin doctoral studies. Part-time-only programmes and certain psychology programmes are excluded. Applicants may submit to only one of the FRQ training award programmes (B1, B1M, B1DP, B2, B2M, B2DP, B3, B5) in a given year, so choose before you start. There is no application fee.
