The School of Physical and Occupational Therapy's Graduate Research Enhancement and Travel (GREAT) Award in combination with the Alumni Student Travel Grant provides support for graduate students in rehabilitation science to attend a scholarly meeting or conference where they will be presenting a paper or poster related to their research. These funds may also apply for visits to a laboratory for research activities related to the student's thesis. While priority will be given to full-time students, there is also possibility of funding part-time students.

  • All students are expected to apply to other external travel funds (i.e. REPAR) during the same cycle.
  • Students may apply prior to receiving confirmation of acceptance, but must have been accepted to present a paper or poster at a scholarly meeting that falls within the specified time period.
  • Award amounts for an international/national conference are limited to $600; award for provincial/local conferences is $250. Eligible expenses include travel, transfer, accommodations, food, conference fees, etc. at the recipient’s discretion. Expenditures must be justified with original receipts and boarding passes, where relevant. Complete details are available within the application document.
