ieg Questions
What if the workshop/internship I want to participate in has not accepted me by the OVPIA deadline?
OVPIA will not extend the deadline. You should apply by deadline making it clear that your acceptance to the program is still pending. Once acceptance is received, it can be appended to your application.
What if the workshop I wish to attend does not meet the minimum 2-week requirement for the grant?
If you can come up with a reasonable plan to extend your stay at the foreign destination beyond the formal program in order to do
individual supervised work in order to meet the 2-week requirement, OVPIA will consider the application. However, we will not waive the minimum 2-week requirement.What if my internship is research-related?
You may go ahead and apply and the OVPIA selection committee will consider the situation to determine if the proposed activity is within the spirit of the grant program.
