PGSA Conference Grants

PGSA Conference Grants

Guest User

This month we are introducing the next evolution to our PGSA Academic Conference Grants, which we have been offering in some form since 2010.

The big news is that the grants are now untagged, meaning if awarded you can use them for any travel-related costs for international conferences. We're thrilled that we can help postgraduates get to prestigious conferences and share their brilliance with the world in more ways than ever before.

Starting from this year, there are up to twenty grants of $500 available, to be awarded throughout the year. At least two grants will be awarded to candidates whose research is likely to be of benefit to Māori and Pasifika studies, in accordance with the Treaty of Waitangi Statute.

Grants will be awarded at the discretion of the PGSA Executive. See our website for full information, and the policy document: https://www.vuwpgsa.ac.nz/grants

We look forward to reading your applications in the year ahead!
