Tomlinson Doctoral Fellowships

• The Tomlinson Doctoral Fellowships are for incoming students accepted into a doctoral degree at McGill University with a start date of Winter 2024, Summer 2024 or Fall 2024. Students whose latest degree was completed or in progress at McGill, are ineligible. Former McGill students who later completed a graduate degree elsewhere may apply. Visiting students at McGill, who are completing the requirements for a degree from another university, may apply.
• Only applicants with a first class academic record. McGill considers a first class GPA to be 3.7 (or 3.5 in Law) in each of the last two (2) years of full-time study at the undergraduate and post-graduate level.

Applicants must submit their application package to the department/academic unit where they intend to study. An internal deadline that is earlier than the GPS deadline may apply. Please contact your department directly for more information about the submission process.

Your application package must include:

1. The Application Form
2. Two letters of reference
   • Provide letters from two external referees commenting on the applicant's academic/research accomplishments and potential. Referees to send the letters directly to the academic unit.

   • how the applicant's proposed project integrates with the supervisor's research program;
   • source(s) of funding available for the research program; and
   • available resources, such as space, facilities, equipment, and access to required expertise.
4. All official transcripts or certified copies from university level studies (graduate and undergraduate)
