studyStudy In Canada Scholarships

The call for applications to the Study In Canada Scholarship program, run by EduCanada, has now opened. The Study In Canada Scholarships program aims to increase opportunities for Canadian post-secondary institutions to welcome international students from a wide range of countries and territories on short-term exchanges for study or research.

Successful candidates will receive scholarships for four months or one academic term of study or research at the college, undergraduate or graduate levels or for five to six months of study or research at the graduate level.

Please note that the current suspension of university-sponsored travel is still in place. This competition is being run by external organizations - EduCanada - in the hope that COVID-19 restrictions on travel will be eased within the terms of the award. Please prepare your application with the expectation that current COVID-19 restrictions on travel will no longer apply by the time student mobility is due to take place.

All applications from Queen's University must be submitted by the Office of the Vice-Provost, International, on behalf of candidates.  
All faculty members are eligible to apply. To obtain the application form and for more information on how to apply, please email the Office of the Vice-Provost, International at [email protected].

The internal deadline for applications is Friday, March 5, 2021. An adjudication committee chaired by the Vice-Provost, International will then rank eligible applications based on the strategic priorities outlined by the Principal in 'Components of an Emerging Strategy: A Report on the Conversation.'

This is meant to be an informal conversation, where we reflect on the past year and look forward to the future. We would like to chat with you about the things that we have come to appreciate even more, the things we have just let go, and the things we have missed the most and look forward to in the future. Please register now and join us!

Reminder - Town Hall with Dean Barbara Crow and Dr. Wendy Craig

Please join Dean Barbara Crow, Dr. Wendy Craig (Psychology), the Faculty of Arts and Science Senior Leadership Team, and your fellow students, staff, and faculty members for a Town Hall from 3:00-4:30 on Wednesday, February 24.

The Town Hall is intended to be a time for us to check-in with one another, to speak about the impacts of COVID on our community and planning for the future, and to recognize that it is Pink Shirt Day, the annual day when Canadians are asked to take a stand against bullying and to make that stance public by including an article of pink clothing in their ensemble.
Dr. Craig conducted research on the impact of the pandemic on our community this past fall through a series of Thought Exchanges and will present an overview of the results, and along with Dean Crow will take questions and listen to your suggestions on how we can continue to support our people as we navigate the pandemic together.

In addition, Dr. Craig's research focuses on bullying, victimization, healthy relationships, and knowledge mobilization and she examines bullying and victimization from a developmental psychopathology perspective. Not only has Wendy received countless awards and accolades, she is a rock star researcher who has advised Lady Gaga on a bullying prevention project for her Born this Way Foundation and appeared on television with Oprah Winfrey.  She would be happy to answer any questions you might have about her research and experience.

Everyone is welcome at our Town Hall. We would like to listen to you, respond to any questions you may have, and offer you the opportunity to take a stand against bullying and to connect with our community.  We also encourage you to join us in wearing an article of pink clothing.

 
After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.
