Conference Funding Process

  1. Applicants should complete the Conference Funding application form (MS Word 28KB) and return it by email to EM@ivey.uwo.ca
     
  2. Applicants will be reviewed by a three person committee within a two week period.  Winning applicants will be notified of their status at that time.
     
  3. Once the doctoral candidate concludes the conference, funding will be released to matching receipts. 

Eligibility and Funding Criteria

All doctoral candidates registered full time in the Ivey PhD program are eligible for conference funding. Applicants must exhaust their yearly conference budgets (e.g. $2000 for PhD students) in order to receive the conference funding.  Successful applicants are eligible for only one grant per 12 month period.  Preference will be given to those who are unable to generate funding from any other sources.
