ɬÀï·¬'s Co-Curricular Record (CCR) is becoming the new Student Experience Record (SER), which will be launched in Fall 2025 in the .ÌýThis change will enhance the way we recognize and document student learning experiences both inside and outside the classroom. See more information about the SER here.

The deadline to submit CCR participation/attendance lists has passed. Activities that took place before July 1, 2025, were eligible for the CCR, but any participant lists received after August 1 will not be processed. Historical CCR data will be preserved and migrated to the SER for current students.

How to make more than minimum wage in grad school

Tuesday, January 22, 2019 18:00to19:30
deGrandpre Communications Centre, Montreal Neurological Institute, CA

Where do you find little-known (and low-competition) scholarships? How do you approach companies to fund your research? This seminar will focus on alternative funding sources for graduate students in neuroscience and related disciplines.

Other topics will include: traditional funding sources (federal, provincial, and internal), how to choose which scholarships to apply for (e.g., stacking, quotas, estimating expected value), common pitfalls (e.g., internal/external deadlines, departmental nomination, where not to look for scholarships), and overcoming common excuses (low GPA, no publications, not enough time). The seminar will feature stories of ɬÀï·¬ graduate students who obtained substantial funding through traditional and alternative sources.

The seminar will be led by, M.Sc., a PhD candidate in Psychiatry at ɬÀï·¬. He has been offered over 25 grants, scholarships, and financial awards during his graduate studies, from Mitacs, SSHRC, NSERC, FRQSC, IRRST, SCEH, and other unpronounceable acronyms.
