Are you a graduate student who has completed an exemplary non-thesis manuscript or project as part of your graduate studies? With approval from your course instructor, submit it online for consideration to the GSS (Graduate Student Society) cIRcle Open Scholar Award. Each Award is worth $500 and will only be awarded to UBC Vancouver graduate students.
Applications are now open until March 25, 2015.
Examples of possible types of submissions include: essays/papers, presentations (including posters), and video and audio based projects.
Based on a lottery system held twice a year, a random selection will be made from items submitted to cIRcle during the previous 6 month period – four awards will be made per annum, two in April and two in October. cIRcle, launched by the Library in 2007 to showcase and preserve UBC’s research and teaching materials, is ranked as the top repository in Canada. It also is ranked 14th in North America and 44th globally.
Full submission details including eligibility, timelines, and FAQs can be found on the GSS cIRcle Award website.
