Graduate Research Enhancement and Travel Awards (GREAT Awards)
These awards cover dissemination of research through graduate student presentations at conferences, and other graduate student research-enhancement activities, such as travel for fieldwork, archival research, and collaborative research outside of the University. GREAT budgets are allocated to Faculties each year, and as such, are managed directly by the Associate Dean's office.
For this year, the School will augment the available funds. We will be able to support about 6 students at ~2,000 CAD each. Applications are due on December 1, 2026 for travel from May 1, 2026 – August 31, 2027. An official announcement and call for applications will be made closer to the deadline and results will be announced shortly after December 1.
