Awards Funding is from non-appropriated Graduate School monies. Awards may be granted for the full amount requested or for a lesser amount, depending upon availability of funds and the appropriateness of the amount requested. All meritorious applications are funded, up to the limits of the RGGS funds available for each academic term. Students must maintain good academic standing and enrollment during the tenure of the grant. Students may be allowed up to nine months to expend grant funds and submit a final accounting report.
Awards are for future expenditures only.
Recipients cannot request funds to reimburse money spent before the RGGS is awarded. Proposals which are not received in the Graduate School by the established deadline are not reviewed for funding. Application Procedure Proposals are to be approved and signed by the student's major advisor. The departmental ranking sheet is included in the current RGGS guidelines. Proposal Format Proposals must include the cover page with proper signatures, a brief narrative, and a budget form .
