Funding Application Deadline and Criteria:
All awards administered by the International Centre are the responsibility of the Funding Committee. The committee meets on a regular basis. This means that there is no deadline for funding applications, but there are two critical things to note:Ìý
1. Your application and supporting documentationÌýMUST be fully complete (1 combined PDF document starting with the full application)ÌýandÌýsubmitted at least 1 month priorÌýto yourÌýdeparture date.
2. The chair of the committee will go through your application to ensure everything is complete only if the application is submitted one month prior to your departure. This will allow you enough time to rectify any omissions. If you don't provide enough time in advance of your departure, we can't guarantee this check will be done, and you risk having your application rejected on the basis of being incomplete.Ìý
We recommend that you complete the funding application as soon as you are accepted into an international program.
