Post-doctoral and clinical
research fellowships

Postdoctoral bursaries and clinical research fellowship bursaries of the SAVOY FOUNDATION are available to Canadian and
foreign candidates for research conducted in Canada.

The fellow with the highest mark will additionally receive the prestigious Steriade-Savoy award worth $1,500.

Fellowship applications are eligible only if submitted within five years of obtaining a PhD, unless the career interruption can be justified.

A research laboratory cannot submit the same project for both a salary award and a research grant.

Granting Terms: Award of Postdoctoral Scholarship

  • The total amount of the scholarship is $35,000. This amount will be disbursed in two equal installments, the first at registration for the fall semester and the second at registration for the winter semester.
  • This scholarship can be combined with other scholarships, provided that the total amount of financial aid received does not exceed $65,000 per academic year. If the total amount exceeds $65,000, you will be able to accept only part of this scholarship so that the total amount of your financial aid is $65,000. We aim to encourage your commitment to your studies while facilitating access to various sources of funding.
  • Please note that awards of excellence and merit scholarships are excluded from this cumulative ceiling. They can therefore be received in addition to the $65,000 allowed.
