SOGS Financial Support Subsidy Program
SOGS is currently accepting applications for the Summer 2024 Financial Support Subsidy Program.
The SOGS Financial Support Program is designed to help members offset the financial burden of expenses associated with academic and personal needs (up to $500 per subsidy). Relevant expenses can include but are not limited to:
- academic travel (archival research, data collection, and conferences)
- professional placement (placements, co-ops, and practicums)
- childcare
- health and dental expenses
- research equipment
- bereavement travel
- emergency unforeseen circumstances
- Year X tuition fees (must be PhD Year 5 or higher)
- UHIP fees (members only)
Eligible applicants can apply by completing the ONLINE APPLICATION FORM and uploading their required documentation and original receipts confirming proof of expenses.
The deadline to apply for Summer 2024 will be August 31, 2024 (see below for per term deadlines). Please note applicants must apply in the term that the expense took place and costs claimed must be solely for the applicant.
For more information about the application process and required documentation, please review the SOGS Financial Support Subsidy Guide. Please note that all SOGS subsidies are competitive due to the high number of students that apply. Funding cannot be guaranteed.
DISCLAIMER: Eligible members may only receive subsidy support up to a maximum of three (3) times during grad studies at WesternU.
