Heffernan Commercialization Fellowship
This is an exciting opportunity for a faculty member to nominate an entrepreneurial PhD or MASc recent graduate for a $32,000 one-year fellowship, with the winning fellow then becoming principal of their newly own created company. U of T is hoping to get a strong selection of candidates for this year's fellowship.
Please note that, via a separate channel, all current graduate students will be receiving notice. Because this opportunity is of potential interest to master's or doctoral graduates from the past few years – our hope is that you would be able to send to your faculty members so they will then approach their graduate alumni who may be interested.
