Dear MAHN students,
Please see the email below as there may be some fundings that you are eligible to apply for although
MAHN students may not be eligible for many of these awards because the MAHN program is course-based, not thesis-based.
Please note that students are responsible for searching out and verifying they are eligible for funding opportunities including meeting eligibility and application deadlines.
Best,
