Info Session: Connaught PhDs for Public Impact Fellowship Program 2024-2025

The School of Graduate Studies is launching the next cycle of the Connaught PhDs for Public Impact  Fellowship Program. This program aims to support PhD students as they make connections outside the university through innovative forms of public scholarly communication.

We will hold an online information session on Wednesday, December 13, from 3-4pm. Please register in advance using the following link: Information Session Registration.

Fellows from the Connaught PhDs for Public Impact Fellowship will focus on engaging the public through a scholarly agenda. This engagement can take a range of forms, from describing their work in a public forum to partnering with a school, community organization, or cultural institution in an ongoing two-way exchange of knowledge and practices.

Program overview:

  • Fifteen fellows are chosen every year
  • Applicants must be full-time PhD students at the University of Toronto in good academic standing in their programs for the duration of the fellowship
  • Each fellow will be awarded $12,500: a $10,000 fellowship as a top-up to their stipend and $2,500 towards project expenses and/or professional development
  • Fellowship applications are due by January 29, 2024
