WIN Graduate Student Mobility Fund
Graduate students in nanotechnology travelling nationally or abroad to present at conferences can now apply for the WIN Graduate Student Mobility Fund (GSM) to assist with travel and accommodation costs. Graduate students must first apply for theÌýGraduate Student Research Dissemination Award Ìý(GSRDA) from the Graduate Student and Postdoctoral Affairs office (GSPA). Once the GSCA award has been approved, students can apply for a top-up of $250 from the WIN-GSM program. Up to 10 grants per year will be awarded to deserving students.
The eligibility requirements for the WIN-GSM is that the student must be aÌýpresenterÌýof a project that is demonstrably based in nanoscience and/or nanotechnology, and not simply as an audience member. We will also require proof of GSCA awarded to the student.
