2. FQRNT International Internships for graduate students: $15,000 (max)

All the info can be found on the FQRNT web page.
>>Briefly:
We can submit up to four applications which will evaluated by the CSACS selection committee. This program is only funded until March 31, 2010 but may be renewed depending on its success. Remember that we are establishing formal links with two international research clusters for student/research exchanges so internships with these researcher groups are encouraged: Europe and NY-USA

3. Scholarship supplements for MSc and Ph.D. students:

We have budgeted for 4 students per yr. Provides scholarship funding for graduate students working on CSACS interuniversity collaborations. To apply, please have the student send in a C.V., a transcript and a 1-2 page description of the proposed research.
