鈥揝tudent Support: Graduate Leadership & Achievement Awards - $6,000,000
Queen鈥檚 graduate students are deeply embedded in our research initiatives across all disciplines and departments, and they provide a critical corps of mentors who are inspiring the next generation. Because discovery isn鈥檛 limited by borders, and we have internationalization as part of our curriculum, it is to Queen鈥檚 benefit that our graduate students take part in international exchanges and global research whenever possible.
Graduate Leadership and Achievement Awards will provide travel and subsistence support for domestic doctoral students who embark on exchanges, or who engage in multinational research thereby strengthening their research and training and helping Queen鈥檚 build international partnerships.
