The following is for this year only. Other solutions will be found in the future.
To support your writing and completion, PhD students who will be registered in P6, P7 and P8 in 2020-21 can obtain an award of $4,000 if they fulfill the following requirements:
- For the ones who will be registered in P6 in 2020-21: at least 2 chapters completed by the beginning of the next academic year (11 September 2020), and a plan to finish by the end of 2020-2021.
- For the ones who will be registered in P7 in 2020-21: at least 3 chapters completed by the beginning of the next academic year (11 September 2020), and a plan to finish by the end of 2020-2021.
- For the ones who will be registered in P8 in 2020-21: at least 4 chapters completed by the beginning of the next academic year (11 September 2020) and a firm intention to finish in 2020- 2021.
In case the obtention of books from the libraries is still significantly limited during July and August, then one of these chapters can still be in draft form.
To obtain this financial support, please submit by June 15, 2020 the following documents to the graduate administrator, Rhonda Marley:
- Annual Advisory Committee Meeting Report in which the members of your Advisory Committee testify that you meet the criteria above.
- If you have not yet these chapters ready but will have them by 11 Sept 2020, then we will also ask a September letter from your supervisor confirming that the chapters are done.
Support will be disbursed in two instalments: students who fulfill these requirements will receive $2,000 in the Fall, and if they are still registered in the program, $2,000 in the Spring.
If you do not fulfill these requirements and are in the unfunded cohort, do not hesitate to apply to CMS Emergency Fund.
