Requirements for University of Saskatchewan Teacher-Scholar Doctoral Fellowship Qualification

As outlined in the CGPS policy on Centrally Administered Funding, a student may not hold two major internal institutional scholarships at the same time, or a major institutional scholarship and a major external scholarship.  A major scholarship is defined as equal to or more than $17,500 per year. Top-up awards and honorary scholarships at a reduced value may be combined with major scholarships. It is your responsibility to inform the College of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies of any such funding that you are receiving.

Teacher-Scholar Doctoral Fellowships (TSDF) are mentored graduate teaching fellowships available to doctoral students through an open university-wide competition supported by the College of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies (CGPS), in partnership with the Gwenna Moss Centre for Teaching and Learning (GMCTL). Fellows must be PhD students in the 2nd to 5th year of their program registered and fully qualified with a grade-point average of 80% or greater.

Students who are beyond the 5th year of their PhD program at the start of the fellowship are not eligible to hold this award.

Students must have successfully completed their PhD Comprehensive Examination by August 31st of the application year to hold this award.

The Sessional Lecturer appointment portion of this fellowship must follow these requirements:

• The sessional lecturer appointment must be scheduled in Term 2 (January to April) to meet the requirements of the TSDF program.
• Recipients should not be assigned teaching responsibilities that will conflict with the requirements of the TSDF program in Term 2, including biweekly GPS 982 meetings from 1:30 p.m. - 2:50 p.m. on Thursday afternoons.
• Recipients are expected to teach a course within their subject matter expertise area that has a minimum expected enrolment of at least 20 students.
• Recipients must meet all of the appropriate academic and/or professional qualifications before being appointed as a sessional lecturer.
• A recipient's teaching assignment can be in a different unit from that in which they are completing their graduate program, as long as the teaching assignment is still within the applicant's and faculty mentor's areas of subject expertise.
• The teaching experience of the Fellow and the combined teaching interests/goals of the recipient and faculty mentor, as described in the TSDF application, should be taken into consideration when making the sessional lecturer appointment.
