As COVID bites into academic budgets, it is getting even harder for PhD students to secure funding.
Research indicates COVID is disproportionately hurting women in science, who are already under-represented in STEM, particularly in physics. In response, FLEET has introduced a new, third scholarship option for outstanding candidates who identify as women:
New PhD partial-stipend scholarship:
- Maximum $15,000/year partial stipend scholarship to an outstanding PhD candidate
- Scholarship contributed by FLEET’s central Equity & Diversity fund, with matching funds from other sources.
This is in addition to existing Women in FLEET scholarships:
- Honours scholarship: up to $5000
- PhD top-up scholarships: up to $10,000
