As part of its commitment to support interdisciplinary and collaborative research in the fields of Migration and Diaspora Studies, the Migration and Diaspora Studies Initiative at Carleton University welcomes applications from new and returning graduate students for the 2019 TD Graduate Fellowship in Migration and Diaspora Studies.

Established in 2014 by the TD Bank Group, this $20.000 fellowship is awarded annually by the Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs to a full-time Carleton graduate student who is conducting a research project that makes a contribution to Migration and Diaspora Studies. The award seeks to recognize students who will use their studies to advance our understanding of the cultural, social, economic and political implications of the movement and transnational settlement of people. The Migration and Diaspora Studies Award Committee will evaluate applications and make a recommendation to the Dean of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs. Recipients may be residents of any province or territory in Canada and must qualify as entitled to the Canadian Resident Tuition Fee Structure.

The application form must be accompanied by a summary of research, CV and letter of support from the applicant’s advisor or Graduate Supervisor. Supervisors should send letters of support by email to mds@carleton.ca. More details and the application form can be found on the Migration and Diaspora Studies website: https://carleton.ca/mds/funding-and-fellowship/fellowship/
