healthpsych Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 (edited) Hey Quebec people. Has anyone here applied for doctoral funding from FRQS or FRQSC? I’m wondering about the requirements/typical profile of people who get the award... the PhD level award doesn’t seem to have concrete GPA requirements, etc. like the tri-council CGS-D, and the scoring criteria seem to be more focused on research. Does anyone know if that’s accurate? Edited April 6, 2018 by healthpsych Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsychBoy Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 I got a FRQSC Master's and a FRQS PhD The profile of people winning is very similar to SSHRC and much less competitive than CIHR I would say. I believe you need a similar GPA to federal scholarships Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelaide9216 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I am waiting for a decision for FRQSC at the master's level right now. I believe you need a first class average? Which would be A- for your entire master's studies? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adelaide9216 Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 For Ph.D, that's how they grade it. For me, it's 60 (competency) and 40 (research project), so yes, there's more emphasis on research at the Ph.D. level. COMPÉTENCES 50 points Qualité du dossier académique et reconnaissances 30 points Résultats universitaires (20 points) Bourses, distinctions et prix reçus (10 points) Expériences pertinentes (en ou hors milieu académique) 20 points Lettres de recommandation PROJET DE RECHERCHE 50 points Originalité de la problématique et contribution à l'avancement des connaissances 25 points Pertinence de l'approche théorique et méthodologique et calendrier de réalisation 25 points Bibliographie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
healthpsych Posted April 8, 2018 Author Share Posted April 8, 2018 Interesting! I expected it to be similar to SSHRC, but then saw that about 50% of eligible applicants get the award which seems really high. 16 hours ago, Adelaide9216 said: For Ph.D, that's how they grade it.

I checked out FRQS too because I can apply for either agency and it looks like they’re even more research-focused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
