CRECS Bursary Programme for Graduate Students

If you are a graduate student who may be eligible for this bursary, please ask the CRECS Principal Researcher who is supervising your research to contact the CRECS Lead Coordinator, Pauliana Borgella (pborgell@uottawa.ca) with a request.

Every academic year, CRECS offers bursaries of $500 on a one-time basis to cover expenses related either to i) data collection for thesis research or ii) costs associated with presenting CRECS-related research at a peer-reviewed academic conference. Graduate students (Masters or PhD) who are supervised by a CRECS Principal Researcher are eligible to apply.  

Applications are now open for the November 24th deadline. Please have the CRECS Principal Researcher send an email to Pauliana Borgella confirming:

  1. They are supervising the graduate student’s research  
  2. That the student is at the data collection stage of their thesis research

Or  

  1. The name of the peer-reviewed academic conference where the student will present.

The CRECS Lead Coordinator will then send the principal investigator the application forms to transmit to the student.  

Graduate students who apply to the bursary program will be asked to provide a brief description of their thesis research or their conference presentation topic and how they relate to the CRECS’ vision “inclusive knowledge, better society”.
