Funding
Student Internships in Canada
A limited number of grants are available to Princeton undergraduates to fund non-paying summer internships in Canada with government or non-profit organizations.
Interested students should send the following materials to Margaret Reilly at 206 Scheide-Caldwell House:
- A description of the internship
- A Princeton transcript
- A letter from the employer hosting the internship confirming that the internship has been awarded, that it will take place in Canada, and that it is non-paying.
Applications will be reviewed the week of May 5th, 2008
The grants are available to citizens of any country.
General Student funding
The Committee for Canadian Studies provides research grants to graduate and undergraduate students who are conducting research concerning Canada.
Interested students are invited to submit letters of application directly to the Canadian Studies program office, 207 Scheide Caldwell House. The application letter should provide a clear description of the student's project, as well as an outline of expenses that will be incurred. There is no deadline: applications are received and reviewed on a rolling basis.
Graduate students interested in applying for summer funding from Canadian Studies must complete the common application form found under the Graduate School web page: http://gradschool.princeton.edu/financial/fellowships/summerstipend/commonapplication/
Faculty funding
Canadian Studies invites applications for faculty grants intended to enrich the curriculum by encouraging faculty to incorporate facets of Canadian culture, history, and political thought into their syllabi.
Faculty members in the humanities and social sciences are eligible to apply for grants of $3,500, in one of two formats:
1. supplemental summer salary for research and course preparation
2. research grants to reimburse the cost of purchasing and assembling materials and traveling to Canada or archives in other locations
Proposals should include a curriculum vitae and a one-page description of how this grant would allow the faculty members to include Canada in their writing and teaching. The Committee welcomes proposals both for new courses and research projects, and for revision of existing courses and projects to incorporate significant material about Canada.
There is no deadline: applications are received and reviewed on a rolling basis, and should be submitted to the Canadian Studies office, 207 Scheide Caldwell House.
