SGS Research Travel Grant 2009-2010

SGS is pleased to announce the SGS Research Travel Grant for 2009-2010. The SGS Travel Grant is available to a limited number of PhD students in the Humanities or Social Science for research in or outside Canada. Please note that not all projects can be funded, nor is the funding sufficient to cover all the expenses of the successful applicants. Last year, of the 156 applications SGS received, 129 were funded. We anticipate funding a similar number of projects this year. Preference will be given to those who are applying for the first time. Travels to conferences or courses/seminars are not covered under this program.

Funding for the SGS Research Travel Grant comes from The Associates of the University of Toronto Travel Award, The Edward W. Nuffield Graduate Travel Fellowship, The School of Graduate Studies Travel Grant, the Faculty of Arts and Science and the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE).

Please encourage PhD students from your graduate unit for whom travel is essential for the completion of their research to apply for the SGS Research Travel Grant. A copy of the application form for the 2009-2010 competition is attached. A PDF version of the application form is available on the SGS website at the following link:
