Description:

The Committee on Canadian Studies at the Whitney and Betty MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies announces the availability of a limited amount of summer funding to support undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students to conduct research overseas or in the US on topics pertaining to the study of Canada. Research across all disciplines will be considered, provided that the focus is on Canada. Note that research in Canada on topics that do not examine Canada will not be eligible for this funding.

Funds may be used to cover or supplement expenses including, but not limited to, travel and accommodation, access to paid databases and/or services, attendance at Canada-related events or conferences, and collaboration with other academics. The maximum award for research projects is $3,500, while the maximum for conferences is $1,000.

Grants are available to all current undergraduate, graduate, and professional school students. This is a competitive award; not everyone will be awarded grant funds.
