Candidates must be nominated by one of the participating universities. Recommendations for the award of fellowships will be made to the Foundation by a selection committee of senior scientists who are not from the participating universities. Students who are applying for the fellowship must:

• Be engaged in or about to start doctoral studies in either Chemistry, Physics, or Electronics (including Electrical Engineering and Computer Science). If a participating university is unable to supervise a research area of interest to an applicant from that university, he/she may submit an application to the Foundation with an explanation/justification to be allowed to study at another university while holding a Walter C. Sumner Memorial Fellowship. Alternatively, a participating university may recommend a candidate for a fellowship but, being unable to find a supervisor for a project, may send that candidate to a university where the research can be undertaken;
• Be a Canadian citizen;
• Be domiciled in Canada, although at the time of application, a candidate may be studying outside the country;
• Hold a degree from a Canadian university other than the one at which the doctoral studies will be conducted during the tenure of the fellowship;
• If only a degree at the Bachelor's level is held, the applicant must have at least two years’ experience in either teaching or industry in the chosen field of study; and
• If awarded a Canada Graduate Scholarship, a participant must inform the Walter C. Sumner Foundation.
