The MCGSO provides course grants to biomedical graduate students to advance their scientific education by promoting attendance at training courses and workshops relevant to a graduate student’s dissertation research.
The MCGSO Course Grant Program provides funding for biomedical PhD students to help alleviate some of financial constraints associated with course enrollment. The maximum funding limit will be determined on a case by case basis.
The Course Grant Program is an annual program, allowing students to attend courses at any time during the full (non-academic) year. Applicants must have an active program representative in MCGSO to be eligible for Course Grants.
