Dear Graduate Assistants,
I hope this email finds you well.
This is a friendly reminder that the next application deadline for both the Professional Development Bursary (PDB) and the Publication Award Bursary (PAB) is Saturday, August 1, 2026, by the end of the day. All documents should be emailed to the CUPE.
The PDB provides financial support to graduate students who present their research at conferences or symposiums. Each semester, up to $500 is awarded to five students. The PAB is a new program that was introduced during our last AGM to support students who have published papers in Q1 journals. For additional information about both programs, including eligibility requirements and the application process, please visit the Resources section of our website.
