(We do hope to find donors to support awards for these programs in the future.)

This post outlines some strategies you can use when applying for in-course awards.

The Full-Time/Part-Time Conundrum

It's not rocket science, but that doesn't mean it's easy...

One of the most common questions I get asked is whether a program is full-time or part-time.

This seemingly simple question has a fairly complex answer. Or answers, actually, since program status depends on a number of factors and could change depending on who’s asking. RRU has a definition of full-time but funders may have additional criteria and they hold veto power.
