The Ho Centre for Buddhist Studies is dedicated to fostering scholarly advancement in the field of Buddhist studies. Beyond our yearly calendar of events and programs, we provide a number of funding opportunities to empower our students with the resources for research projects, language training, and travel.
Summer Research Traineeship
The Summer Research Traineeship Award provides funding for graduate students to undertake summer research travel or language study that directly supports their academic work in Buddhist Studies. For more information on how to apply, contact buddhiststudies@utoronto.ca
Travel Grant
Initiated in the fall of 2024, this newly established travel grant is designed to support post-doc students in this crucial stage of their academic career, helping them attend conferences and workshops where they can present their research, network with peers and mentors, and engage in collaborative academic exchanges. Recognizing the financial challenges faced by post-doctoral scholars who often lack the funding stability provided to graduate students, this fund aims to enable them to take full advantage of opportunities that advance their professional development. This fund is also open to advanced graduate students who have exhausted other sources of travel support. For more information on how to apply, contact buddhiststudies@utoronto.ca
