Federal Budget 2007

The federal government is extending its funding for their top-tier graduate scholarships.

Canada Graduate Scholarships are currently awarded to the top 2,000 masters and 2,000 doctoral students each year and are worth $17,500 and $35,000 dollars per year respectively. The addition funding promised will mean an extra 1000 scholarships awarded over the next 2 years. This is good news, especially when you appreciate that as of the 2006 budget, all post-secondary scholarships are tax exempt.
