Faculty of Arts Connect 4 Success – Research and Travel Award

The Faculty of Arts Connect 4 Success Research and Travel Award provides financial support to full-time graduate students enrolled in research-based masters or PhD programs in the Faculty of Arts at the University of Waterloo. The award helps cover costs associated with academic travel and research activities that enhance graduate student experience and research development. Eligible activities include travel and accommodation for conference participation where students will be presenting their own research, field work or archival research, and work placements or internships. Students must maintain a cumulative average of 80% or higher in their program and demonstrate good academic standing. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis throughout the year and must be submitted at least one month in advance of the planned activity. The value of each award varies depending on the specific budget requirements and availability of funds, with awards typically covering partial rather than full costs. Students can receive this award more than once during their program.
