Nanotechnology Scholarships
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE
Alberta Advanced Education and Technology (AET) has created a $3 million scholarship program for graduate students in nanotechnology fields at Alberta universities. These scholarships are intended to help Alberta attract and retain the best graduate students in the world.
This program will:
• Further frontier nanotechnology research in Alberta at the highest levels of excellence
• Train highly qualified personnel who drive Alberta’s future innovation economy
• Create networks of highly qualified people around the world who are linked to Alberta’s research institutions
• Create and enable strategic linkages with global leaders in priority areas for Alberta
• Encourage a sustainable culture of intellectual and entrepreneurial excellence
There are two categories of scholarships within this program:
• Automatic top-up awards for Canada Graduate Scholarship (CGS) recipients
• Provincially evaluated awards for all other students
Alberta Ingenuity will evaluate application for this program as well as administer the scholarships on behalf of AET.
DEFINITION OF NANOTECHNOLOGY
Nanotechnology is a broad enabling discipline crossing research fields including, but not limited to, chemistry, physics, computer science, biology, mathematics, all areas of engineering and medicine and encompasses social, legal, and ethical aspects.
For the purpose of this competition, the definition of nanotechnology is as follows:
“Nanotechnology is the understanding and control of matter at dimensions of the order of 1 to 100 nanometres. Encompassing nanoscale science, engineering and technology, nanotechnology involves imaging, measuring, modeling, and manipulating matter at this length scale to enable novel applications.
With particular reference to topics at the interface of nanotechnology and the life sciences, studies that use tools and concepts to study biology at the nanoscale; that propose to engineer biological molecules toward functions different from those they have in nature; or that manipulate biological systems by methods other than traditional molecular biological, synthetic chemical, or biochemical approaches, are classified as nanotechnology projects.”
Applicants must identify if their proposal is related to nanotechnology. The Alberta Ingenuity Nanotechnology Panel will confirm the application’s relevance to a nanotechnology area.
AUTOMATIC TOP UP AWARDS
Students currently holding a Canada Graduate Scholarship at an Alberta university in the area of nanotechnology research who do not hold the Alberta Ingenuity Graduate Student Scholarship in Nanotechnology are eligible for an Automatic Top-Up award. Please complete and send the Auto Top-Up Form to Alberta Ingenuity to initiate payment.
• Auto Top-Up Form (.doc)
Automatic top-up scholarships have a value of at least $10,000 per year (see Stipend chart below) and match the CGS award in duration. In addition, each student will also receive an annual research allowance of $5,000.
PROVINCIALLY COMPETITIVE AWARDS
Students who do not hold a Canada Graduate Scholarship must apply for funding through Alberta Ingenuity’s annual scholarship competition.
Application for Alberta Ingenuity Graduate Scholarship in Nanotechnology are evaluated by the Alberta Ingenuity Nanotechnology Review Panel. The final outcomes of the panel are compiled with the outcomes of the four other review panels used in the Alberta Ingenuity Graduate Scholarship program: Engineering, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and ICT.
The number of scholarships in nanotechnology awarded each year depends on the quality of the applications received and the value of each scholarship stipend.
TIMELINE
Application Deadline: December 1, 2008
Announcement of Results: mid-March (first release of award offers)
March 31 (release of remaining result letters)
Scholarship start dates: May 1, September 1 or January 1 (see Start Date)
ELIGIBILITY
The award is open to candidates entering or currently in a full-time graduate program at an Alberta university in a science or engineering-related discipline working towards a research-based master’s or doctoral degree.
Master’s students
??As of December 31, 2008, eligible students will have completed not more than 12 months of a master’s program.
Doctoral students
??As of December 31, 2008, eligible students will have completed not more than 24 months of a doctoral program.
??For doctoral students who transfer from a master’s program prior to completing the master’s degree, eligibility is calculated starting from the first academic session in which you were registered in a doctoral program
Candidates from outside Alberta or Canada are eligible, provided they meet all eligibility requirements for admission to an Alberta university. The candidate should contact the university for information on those requirements.
When candidates have interrupted their training for parenting or other reasons, it is possible to have the program start date for eligibility adjusted upon request. Candidates should contact Alberta Ingenuity to explain any special circumstances prior to submitting an application, to determine if they are eligible.
SPONSORING SUPERVISOR
A faculty supervisor possessing both a record of productive research in a science or engineering discipline and sufficient resources to ensure the satisfactory conduct of the research must sponsor the candidate.
TERM OF AWARD
Master’s students
Master’s funding will not extend beyond the 28th month of a master’s program.
1. New master’s student (at deadline, student is not registered in a master’s program)
Award term: 24 months

i want to study chemistry if i would get scholarship
Glad to know about the Scholarship-Position.com.
I want to say here that am a B.Eng. (Mechanical) holder in a reputable university here in Nigeria. I would like to enroll in the ongoing Scholarship Position Program going on in any of the Canadian Universities in Alberta. I would like to know if my discipline B. Eng (Mech)., could be considered into the Nanotechnology Program.
Thanks in anticipation.
Yours faithfully,

Dear
I am Mehdi Zakizadeh. In 2008, I graduated M.S.c degree in plant breeding from Azad kermanshah University, Iran, also In March 2008; I was the first-best student in my class with an average of 18.63. Also I have some information about molecular methods. I should like to continue my training in the field of plant systematic and biotechnology at a foreign University. I can’t support myself, so I need full scholarship to continue my favorite training.
Very truly yours.
