Travel and Research Grants
Grants are available from the College of Arts and Sciences for travel to professional conferences, to conduct research, or for other expenses necessary to complete the thesis or dissertation. One applies for these grants online on the College of Arts and Sciences website. After receiving a grant, students arrange with the business office to access their funds.
The department encourages PhD students to seek research funding for the dissertation (from all possible sources) early in the program. PhD students may apply for a College of Arts and Sciences Dissertation Award after completing coursework. International Programs keeps a database of funding sources for international research; most sources are for faculty use, but often graduate students are eligible.
The Office of Graduate Studies also has travel grants to further graduate student research and to present research at professional meetings. Information is available on the OGS website.
