Details

The Fully Funded Vector Scholarships in Artificial Intelligence supports the recruitment of top students to AI-related master’s programs in Ontario, Canada. Valued at $17,500 for one year of full-time study at an Ontario university, these merit-based entrance awards recognize exceptional candidates pursuing a master’s program recognized by the Vector Institute or who are following an individualized study path that is demonstrably AI-focused. Students in both core technical programs and complementary fields such as business and health are eligible for nomination. Scholarship nominations open January 6 and close April 3, 2020.

Nomination Process

As students cannot apply directly to the Vector Institute for the scholarship, they are encouraged to work with the Ontario university to which they have applied for a full-time master’s study. Individual programs may have specific internal deadlines related to the scholarship for applicants they will be nominating. Scholarship nominations open January 6, 2020, and all scholarship nomination packages must be submitted by Ontario universities to the Vector Institute by April 3, 2020.

Eligibility

To be eligible for Fully funded Vector Scholarships in Artificial Intelligence in Canada, prospective students must:

  • Be applying for entrance into a full-time master’s program in an AI-related field at an Ontario University for the 2020-21 academic year. You must be applying to a Vector recognized program or be pursuing an individualized study plan that is demonstrably AI-focused at an Ontario university.
  • Hold first-class standing (minimum of A- or equivalent) in the last two years of study (full-time equivalent) from a recognized university.
  • However, it is expected that the prospective student’s transcript will reflect preparedness for the proposed master’s study.
  • However, consideration will be given to candidates with upper second class standing (B+).
  • Must have relevant work experience or where extenuating circumstances apply if the rationale for consideration is included.
