Financial support for conferences is available through the Faculty of Graduate Studies. FGS conference travel support is available to MA and PhD students presenting a paper at an appropriate academic venue. Applications must be submitted at least one month in advance of the conference, and must be accompanied by proof of acceptance.
Depending on availability, the Department of English also provides PhD students with some funding for thesis-related travel (including conferences) during years 2-5 of their programs. The Departmental award is administered by the Graduate Committee and is intended to supplement the FGS amount for which prospective recipients are required to have first applied. Application forms are available at the Department office.
