External Scholarships and Awards
Many of our doctoral students apply for both internal and external scholarships or awards (SSHRC, OGS, etc.) during their program. To fully prepare students for the two main provincial (OGS) and federal (SSHRC) scholarship competitions, the Institute organizes a yearly grant writing workshop mentored by experienced faculty members. For a list of our OGS, SSHRC and other award winners, please visit our Graduate Award Recipients page.
Research Assistantships
During the course of their doctoral studies, Cultural Mediations students may also contribute as research assistants to funded research projects led and managed by individual faculty members.
