PLEASE NOTE
Applicants can apply directly through CanSAGE. Participating Canadian AAGL Fellowship Programs will be included in the CanSAGE Match.

There is NO need to apply to the AAGL nor do you need to participate in the AAGL Match process for the three participating programs above. If you are applying to any other American AAGL programs, then you still must apply through the AAGL. Please note, however, that the CanSAGE match date is before the American match date so if you enter and are accepted through the CanSAGE match, you would be expected to withdraw from the American match. The Canadian AAGL programs will submit the matched applicant directly to the AAGL.

Details on the AAGL programs can be found at: https://www.aagl.org/service/fellowships/
