FGSR Parental Leave Bursary

This award is designed to support graduate students who have taken an approved parental leave (includes adoption). The goal of the bursary is to help students maintain a level of funding during their parental leave (to a max of 8 months). This bursary is provided on a first come first serve basis and there is a limit of 3 awards per fiscal year. Students must be on an approved parental Leave of Absence (LOA), have pre-existing stable graduate funding at a minimum of $7500 per year, cannot hold Tri-Council Funding, must have completed at least one semester of their graduate studies and be registered full time in the semester before their approved leave, and must be in good-standing. Students who have received an approved parental LOA can send a request for this bursary to grad.funding@uregina.ca with their name, student ID, expected leave start date, and proof of current funding. A student cannot be employed while holding this bursary.
