Applying for the Grant
Applicants interested in this grant should note that it operates on a reimbursement basis. This means that expenses are covered after they have been incurred by the student. Furthermore, recipients of the grant are expected to share their research outcomes at the annual Graduate School Research Symposium, which is held every April.
Please note that, as a reimbursement, this grant requires close collaboration from the student in satisfying university protocol for funds disbursement: students may be asked to provide receipts, documentation, credit card statements, and more. Students may be asked to work with their department administrators to navigate this process.
This grant hopes to support burgeoning academics and conference presenters who may not otherwise have the means to attend. As a result, teams applying on behalf of one paper/project may be asked to identify 1-2 student leaders; additionally, applicants may be asked to contextualize funds already available to them at a departmental level.
MATERIALS NEEDED TO APPLY
- The completed DocuSign application (below) and sign off from graduate director and faculty advisor
- An attached project statement that expands on the project
- Proof of conference acceptance specifically outlining your role in the conference/any formal documentation supporting this funding request
