Does anyone know if GEM works for online degrees? Or do you have to physically attend the university you applied for in order for GEM to support you?

Hi aaranda8592, 

I believe it depends on the program. For instance, some part-time masters degree programs (some of which are online) qualifies.

Hi Vitamalt,

Unfortunately,  you will have to wait until the next application cycle to be considered. My friend attempted to apply to the day after the deadline and they denied him. However, since you are calling them, it won't hurt to try your luck and ask. Sorry!

Hi Stafo, 

Thank you for the advice. I will keep it in mind!

Hi Vitamalt,

Yes, it's possible to apply as a grad student. I'm currently a grad student, and I called to verify before I applied. I was told that as long as we have an entire year left of grad school we can still apply. You can call or email the GEM fellowship directly and ask about your specific situation. Hope this helps! 

Hi Hope12, 

Thank you so much for the response! I will call them and ask. I found out about GEM funding masters program after the deadline. DO you know if I would have to wait for the next app cycle to begin? Thanks, anyway and I will call them.

Hey all, does anyone have an idea what to do in my case? I just found out that my recently accepted graduate programme is Gem approved, but the GEM application deadline has passed, and I would already be a semester in before the next app cycle. Is it possible to still apply the next cycle as a grad student? Defer grad acceptance or what? Any advice is much appreciated!
