Graduate Research Fellowships
CERi's Graduate Fellowship Program supports community-engaged research through community connections, financial aid, peer learning, professional development, and mentorship from CERi staff or affiliated researchers. It spans 8 months (September to April), welcoming all Simon Fraser University graduate students interested in community-engaged research. Workshops are held monthly at SFU's 312 Main in downtown Vancouver, with additional monthly check-ins.
