UBC has created a new category of support for graduate students who have not been able to come to Canada for their studies but who can contribute to research projects from abroad. Where permitted by the conditions of the research grant/sponsor, funds will be assigned as Graduate Research Stipends (GRS).
GRS funding will not be managed through UBC's payroll system and will not be structured as any type of employment relationship. Rather, the funding will be assigned via UBC's student award platform, posted to the student’s UBC tuition account and applied against tuition / fees owed; any funds in excess of fees refunded in a lump-sum payment.
This request form is for the Graduate Supervisors to fill out for the Graduate Research Stipends (GRS).
Recommendations for student funding from other sources should be submitted via the
award recommendation processes for UBC-V and emailed to
graduateawards.ok@ubc.ca for UBC-O.
The individual making the GRS request must fill out all of the required information below, including the names in the Contact Information Section.
Please direct questions to
brendan.morey@ubc.ca for UBC-V requests;
nathan.sletten@ubc.ca for UBC-O requests.
