Canadian Space Agency Funding Opportunity for Students
The Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is pleased to offer grants to Canadian postsecondary students to attend the American Society for Gravitational and Space Research (ASGSR) Conference 2025 under their Announcement of Opportunity (AO) to support Canadian Student Participation in Space Conferences and Training Events. A maximum of $5,000 CAD could be awarded to cover the grant recipient’s accommodations and meal allowances, registration fees, and travel expenses.
To be eligible for a grant under this AO, applicants must meet the following eligibility criteria:
- be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident;
- be enrolled in a Canadian post-secondary institution at the college, undergraduate, master’s or doctoral levels at the time of the event.
Although not an eligibility requirement, priority may be given to students who have been selected by the ASGSR organizing committee to give a presentation (oral or poster) during the event. Priority may also be given to applicants from underrepresented populations. The CSA therefore encourages applicants to indicate, on a voluntary basis, if they belong to one or more of the four following groups: women, Indigenous Peoples, persons with disabilities and members of visible minorities.
Instructions on how to submit an application can be found in Section 4 of the AO. Please read these instructions carefully and submit your application to the CSA no later than November 13, 2025 at 1:00 PM (EST).
