CORS encourages attendance of graduate students at conferences, symposia, or workshops that are specifically aimed at graduate students, such as student conferences, doctoral colloquia, and conferences for junior operations researchers. Through the GSCS program, CORS may provide partial funding up to $500 per student for attendance at such events. Note that the GSCS program will not fund attendance at CORS meetings, because CORS has a separate program for this purpose. |
All GSCS funding is subject to availability of funds and the following eligibility criteria: |
- Student is a member of CORS.
- Student's supervisor is a member of CORS.
- Student is enrolled in a graduate program in a field related to operational research.
- Student is studying at a Canadian university, or student is a Canadian citizen or permanent resident studying abroad.
|
The application process is competitive. The following criteria will be used to select applications that will be funded: |
- The quality of the paper to be presented at the conference, if applicable.
- The benefits that the student is likely to derive from attending the conference.
- The stage that the student has reached in his/her degree program.
- Prior GSCS funding received by the applicant (new applicants will be given preference, all else being equal).

Since funding is limited, applicants are encouraged to submit their applications in a timely manner. Applications must be received at least two months before the conference date to receive full consideration. Applicants who meet this deadline will be notified of the outcome of their application at least one month before the conference date. |
