New Chair’s Excellence Fellowship
The Chair’s Excellence Fellowship (CEF) will be awarded every year to a maximum of 2 black or indigenous PhD students who are receiving the IBET Momentum Fellowship. The CEF will be equal to the difference between the minimum funding guarantee and the value of the IBET ($25,000). Additionally, students will receive a top-up to the minimum funding guarantee as outlined in our Graduate Student Funding.
