Thesis Funding Process

  1. Applicants should complete the PhD Thesis Funding application form (MS Word 28KB) and return it by email to EM@ivey.uwo.ca
     
  2. Applications will be reviewed by a three person committee.
     
  3. While the doctoral candidate is undertaking the research, 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 thesis funding. Applicants must exhaust their PhD thesis budgets ($3000) in order to be considered.  Preference will be given to those who have demonstrated a career interest in international business and who are unable to generate funding from any other sources.  Often, the thesis supervisor, in conjunction with the PhD candidate can apply to SSHRC for thesis related funding.
