RESEARCH GRADUATE AWARD [RGA]

In a new initiative, MERGA has set aside funds to support recent doctoral (PhD or EdD) and research Masters graduates to attend the annual MERGA conference.

Doctoral and research Masters graduates are eligible to apply for support towards the cost of registration at the annual MERGA conference that falls within the 12-month period immediately following their accreditation.

The available funds will normally be capped at a total of $2000 per annum. On the recommendation of the MERGA Executive, the number of awards granted and the amount awarded may vary from year to year, depending on the value of the conference registration fee and on the number of applicants.

ELIGIBILITY FOR MERGA RESEARCH GRADUATE AWARDS

  • Applicants must have graduated with a PhD, EdD or research-only Masters degree in mathematics education.
  • The period of eligibility for the award is the 12-month period immediately following notification that the degree has been awarded.
  • A research paper must be submitted and subsequently accepted for presentation and publication in the proceedings of the MERGA conference for which the award is sought.
  • An application form for an RGA with all necessary documentation is a prerequisite for the award.
The amount awarded to each successful RGA applicant will depend on the number of applicants and on the cost of registration. The total amount awarded each year will be capped at $2000.
