Grants and available funding:
Admission to the field school means that that you are automatically on track to win a UVic Jean Monnet EU Centre of Excellence grant of $1,400 (unless you indicate to decline the grant when you apply).
Specifically, you win this JM EUCE grant if you get admitted to the EU Study Tour and you subsequently make sure to: (i) pay all the tour fees on time, (ii) complete all the mandatory course requirements for EUS 390A on time, and (iii) satisfy any other conditions communicated to you in the admission email (example: you may be asked to complete EUS 300 in Spring 2024).
If you satisfy the requirements, the JM EUCE grant will normally be paid out to you in July. There are additional funding opportunities, including a $500 grant from UVic's Student International Activities Fund. It is up to you to find such opportunities and apply for them.
