Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada: The Yuen Pau Woo Travel Award
Post-Graduate Research Fellows whom are already working with the foundation can request some funding support for travel related to their activities at the Foundation. This includes travel for conferences, workshops or research programs. These requests will be approved on a case-by-case basis.
Established in 2015 through a donation from former Asia Pacific Foundation of Canada President Yuen Pau Woo, the Yuen Pau Woo Travel Award is awarded annually in the amount of up to $2,000 to one or more outstanding Post-Graduate Research Fellows.
The Award is intended to supplement the Foundation's Post-Graduate Research Fellowship program, and supports travel related to research, fieldwork, conferences and other initiatives undertaken by Post-Graduate Research Fellows.
