Information on any assistance from outside sources or the host institution must also be included. Applications need to be endorsed by the supervisor of the student.

Selection process:

After reviewing the applications, a Selection Committee will be formed and tasked with recommending whether or not to award the Fellowship. The Associate Director (HDR), RSES (or nomination), and the Associate Directors (or nominee) in charge of the research areas shall make up the Mervyn and Katalin Paterson Fellowship Committee. A candidate for the Scholarship will be chosen by the Committee if, in its judgment, they are at a point in their program when travelling to a foreign country and attending a significant international conference will significantly advance their research. If the selection committee concludes there isn't a candidate with enough merit, the Fellowship won't be given out.
