Scholarly Project Funding

Eligibility criteria

Students are limited to one grant per fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) in which they are enrolled as a graduate student. Students must be enrolled during the semesters they use the funding. Doctoral students in "In Absentia" status are not eligible for funding. Both the Student Application Form and Advisor Support Form must be completed as outlined in the Application and Awards Process and Evaluation Criteria sections to be considered. Emailed submissions are not accepted. The project, research, or product in question must be at least a portion of a graduate degree requirement. The work in question must be scheduled for start-up within one semester of application for the award. Funds must be used for those items listed in the submitted proposal budget. If the nature of the research changes and an adjustment to the budget is needed, the awardee must contact the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs to request a variance, prior to spending the funds. Awardees must complete all post-award requirements outlined in the After the Award section.
