Description
The Graduate Research Stipend is designed to support University of British Columbia (UBC) graduate students who are unable to travel to Canada by providing a research stipend through UBC's student award system. This stipend is deposited directly into the student's tuition account, covering tuition and fees, with any excess funds paid to the student as a lump sum. The mechanism allows supervisors to provide research support to students abroad, ensuring continuity of research activities when travel is not possible. All research conducted under this arrangement must adhere to UBC's scientific, ethical, and professional standards, as well as university policies on scholarly integrity and research.
