All applications will be blind-reviewed by the Alumni Research Grant Committee (ARGC).

Please note that the application deadlines are at 5:00 pm on the final working day (Friday) of April, July, and November. If your application is submitted after the deadline (i.e., after 5 pm on the final working day of April, July, or November), it will be reviewed during the next application review cycle.

You will only be able to submit one application for the funding of either a field research study, the publication of a book or an article, a presentation at an academic conference, or for one course supporting your research activities or a current research project. Multiple applications including applications for combined funding (e.g., funding for field research and presenting research at a conference) will not be considered.
