The award aims to support graduate students in CLARE, University of Calgary, who are presenting their research at academic conferences or embarking on research trips relevant to their degree. The following forms of presentations are supported by this award: paper presentations, poster presentations, roundtables, and other scholarly activities that align to the student's graduate program, scholarship, and research interests. Award dollars received may be directed to conference or research travel, accommodation, entrance fees, allowable per diem rates (for travel outside of Calgary), and conference registrations fees.
