Dear CUPE members,
The next deadline for the Professional Development Bursary (PDB) is August 1st 2023 (3pm). PDBs are awarded to assist members of Local 3905 who attended learning events and conferences outside of Thunder Bay. Please download the application form on our website: https://3905.cupe.ca/wp-content/uploads/sites/137/2016/06/PDB-application-form.pdf.
As conferences, training, and other study events have largely been moved online, the PDB now covers the fees related to these online conferences, training, and study events, such as registration fees. If you plan to apply but have not yet submitted your application, please submit your application via email (cupe@lakeheadu.ca).
Here is a list of application documents:
1) the summary or materials related to the conference or the study event;
2) the evidence for having attended the conference or the study event (flight boarding pass or the conference badge);
3) the receipts and the corresponding visa statements detailing the costs incurred (to support your proof of payment);
4) along with the application form
Reminder: Students who have graduated less than 4 months can still apply, but we will give them half of the amount they applied for.
Looking forward to receiving your applications!
Best Regards!
Siavash Hosseini
