How to Apply

Students are encouraged to review the Tri-Council and OGS Guide (.pdf) prior to submitting their application on the Financial aid awards and scholarship system.

In addition, students submitting a CIHR doctoral application through the agency are also required to submit a condensed Tri-council/OGS application on the York University Financial Aid, Awards and Scholarships (FAAS) system. This will enable staff to match tri-council applications submitted by the student in the system by October 2, 2025.

To submit an application, please follow the online application instructions provided by CIHR. 

All students MUST submit an application on the CIHR online portal to be considered for the national competition.

Transcripts

Official transcripts with your complete academic record (undergraduate and graduate studies, completed and ongoing) are required. Accordingly, applicants are responsible for collecting, uploading, and confirming legibility of previous and current (including Fall 2024 even if no grades are available) official transcripts and upload them directly onto the application portal.

To access your York University official transcript, please visit the Order Transcripts Online page and request for your official transcript to be emailed to you. Please note that grade reports will not be accepted.

The Triagency will only accept unofficial transcripts if official transcripts cannot be obtained.
