Finding Additional Granting Sources (Online Synchronous Workshop)
- This event has passed.
September 18, 2023 @ 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm EDT
This workshop is taught by Dr. Jay Olson.
Where do you find little-known (and low-competition) scholarships? How do you approach companies to fund your research? This workshop will focus on alternative funding sources for graduate students.
Topics will include: traditional funding categories (federal, provincial, and internal), how to choose which scholarships to apply for (e.g., stacking, quotas, estimating expected value), common pitfalls (e.g., internal/external deadlines, departmental nomination, where not to look for scholarships), and overcoming common excuses (low GPA, no publications, not enough time). Attendees will also receive a guide which outlines the steps involved in finding, applying for, and receiving alternative sources of funding.
This is the 1st of 10 workshops in the Getting Through Graduate Work: Synchronous Workshops series.
