Scholarships Where do I begin when looking for scholarships that I may qualify for? There are many handy websites that provide this information for students interested in applying for scholarships. The College of Graduate Studies and Research offers information on both scholarships offered by the CGRS itself and external scholarships. Other websites you may want to check out for scholarships include Heart and Stroke, NCIC, and the MS society. In addition the Funding Guide for International Science and Technology Cooperation has information on many grants, bursaries, and fellowships mainly for individuals with post doctoral positions. When is the best time of year to begin thinking about scholarships for next fall? The application deadlines for a great deal of scholarships are in May and some are as early as January and February. It is best to begin thinking about your scholarship options for the following year well in advance, possibly in November or December of the previous year to ensure you do not miss out on any opportunities. Is there some kind of search engine that will allow me to search for scholarships that I may only possess a slight amount of information? The CGSR has an awards database that allows you to search out awards that you may have heard of, that have a specific deadline that you are interested, or are offered by a specific department. Travel I am heading off to a conference out of town. Is there any way to get some help paying for the trip? There are a variety of travel grants available for students to apply for when travelling for conferences or other work related trips. The CGSR offers travel grants amounting to $500. The deadlines for these travel grants are difficult to apply for if you are travelling last minute - your applications must be in by approximately the end of the term PREVIOUS to the term in which you need to travel. The University of Saskatchewan Travel Grant is available to students across campus. This travel grant application is also due previous to the term you are travelling. It amounts to $550 for international conferences and $350 for non-international conferences. The College of Medicine offers travel awards in the amount of $500 as well. In order to apply for the College of Medicine travel awards students must pick up forms at the College of Medicine main office - Room B103 Health Sciences. Travel grants amounting to $150 are also available to all students by the University of Saskatchewan GSA President's Fund. These travel grants must be in 6 weeks before you plan to travel and require a one page write up of your trip and what you learned. Application forms can be picked up at the College of Medicine main office as well. If you are a member any associations, such as the American Associations of Anatomists for example, may also offer travel grants. These are primarily offered by associations that are sponsoring the conference you are interested in attending. Information on these travel grants can usually be found on the specific association websites. I have just arrived home from a work related trip. How do I go about be reimbursed by my supervisor for the money spent on the trip? If your supervisor has agreed to reimburse you for expenses such as hotel, food, and transportation there is a form that you fill out upon your returning home. You may need to include receipts for your expenses as well as plane tickets or boarding passes. You then take your receipts and form to Financial Services at ... It may take up to 6 weeks to receive your cheque after submitting for reimbursement. For additional information on filling out your travel claim form follow this link. While on my trip I did not get receipts for all of my meals, does this mean that I cannot be reimbursed for this amount? As long as you include boarding passes or other receipts proving that you were on the trip, you can simply fill out the form using the approximate amount you spent on food - up to the maximum food allowance you are permitted. Student Loans Where do I get information pertaining to student loans, such as a student loan application package or a continuation of enrollment form for Saskatchewan student loans? All forms you need or answers for questions and concerns you may have can be found at student central in the Administration Building. Student central is now set up in the lobby of the Administration Building at 105 Administration Place. Can I get Continuation of Enrollment Forms for student loans from other provinces at student central? Unfortunately, these forms are not available at student central at the University of Saskatchewan. However, these forms are often available on the website of the University you attended in the province you received the student loan.
