All prospective graduate students are strongly encouraged to apply to both the National and Provincial agencies for scholarship support. For undergraduate students considering graduate school these applications should be made at the appropriate time in their final year of undergraduate study (deadlines are in October or November). Remember it is possible to decline a scholarship offer if one's plans change later in the year, but it is not possible to make a late application once the deadline has passed. Prospective graduate students should, therefore, inform themselves fully about their scholarship prospects as early in their final undergraduate year as possible.
