The OGPR is pleased to announce the availability of the 2014-2015 Faculty of Education Graduate Student Research Grant funding initiative. The grant is not designed to be a salary grant. The principal goal of this initiative is to reimburse UBCV Faculty of Education graduate students for the financial costs of conducting research projects necessary for the completion of their degree and is designed to cover your research or project expenses only. The award values are up to $1,000 to successful graduate students (Magistral and Doctoral).
PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
- Graduate students cannot receive this award more than once during a given degree program.
- Over the past 3 years (when the funding available was $10,000 annually) there have been an average number of 37 applications to this initiative and an average of 12 were funded. These awards were successful based on the following: a) a strong student statement regarding their Research Proposal and a fully justified Budget; b) the student C.V. and, c) a high grade point average.
- Although the signature of your Supervisor is not required on the application form, they are still required to read and check off that they fully support your application to this grant.
For more information, as well as the Application Form, the Terms of Reference & Instructions, Graduate Student CV, a Sample Graduate Student CV as well as the General UBC Policies on Reimbursement and Payment for Work and other related materials, please go to the following website: http://ogpr.educ.ubc.ca/grad/funding/opportunities/.
