Student Grant Proposals

We offer two student grant types based on the student's involvement in the project's development, and one grant type for students travelling to present work at academic & professional conferences/exhibitions.

 

 

Assistantships

Assistantships provide funding to students to partner with a faculty mentor to help on an existing project.

 

 

Individual Project Grants

Individual Grants allow students to take ownership of part or all of a project with an original proposal.

 

 

Individual Conference Travel

Individual Travel Grants support students sharing their work at academic and professional conferences.
