The Graduate Student Research Travel Award provides financial support to graduate students in thesis-based programs who are attending and presenting research at academic or professional conferences. Research presentations supported by this fund will include presentations at professional conferences of findings from projects conducted by Ontario Tech University graduate students. Graduate students must be recommended by their supervisor and graduate program director to receive such awards. Projects must have been conducted under the mentorship of an Ontario Tech faculty member. Award Value: • Up to a maximum of $500 for eligible Ontario Tech students. • There are limited funds available to award each cycle. Awards are contingent upon the availability of funds and the number of applications. Eligibility Requirements: • Be actively presenting their research (relevant to their current degree program) at an academic conference that occurs within the appropriate cycle's timeframe. • Be enrolled as a thesis-based master's or doctoral student at the time of the conference. NOTE: Due to the limited number of awards available, eligibility does not guarantee receipt of financial support. Application will remain open from April 1st to April 30, 2026.
