The University of Ottawa’s Faculty of Law is now accepting applications for the Edward Barry McDougall Memorial Scholarship for graduate studies in law for 2015-2016. The process has changed a bit from previous years. In the past, as you know, we asked applicants to send their applications to contacts at universities across Poland; the universities would then send these applications to a Polish selection committee, who would then send them on to a Canadian selection committee.
This year, to streamline the process and make the selection procedures more fair to all of our applicants, we are asking that candidates submit a complete application for admission to the LLM program at the Faculty of Law of the University of Ottawa by March 1, 2015.
Scholarship applications must then be made through uOttawa’s Online Scholarships and Bursaries database, which can be accessed through https://bourses.uottawa.ca/. Applicants will require a uOttawa Infoweb account to access Online Scholarships and Bursaries. Infoweb login information will be provided to applicants once they complete their application for admission.
Scholarship applications made through Online Scholarships and Bursaries should include:
1. the Curriculum Vitae on Online Scholarships and Bursaries;
2. the applicant’s research proposal (max. 5 pages);
3. one letter of support from an academic source;
4. a personal statement of why the applicant is applying.
The Faculty will take the applicant’s official transcripts covering all previous university studies and English or French proficiency test scores from their admission files. This way, if language proficiency tests are not available in time, candidates can be granted deferrals and still remain in contention for the scholarship.
Ultimately, we think this will make the application process easier for all involved. It allows our selection committees to see a more complete profile of each applicant, thus giving each one a better chance to succeed.
The application deadline has been adjusted to March 1st, 2015.
