The support is designed to enable the recipient to complete or make considerable progress towards the completion of the dissertation. The application deadline is Mid-April. These grants are intended to help defray necessary but unusual expenses essential to the performance of thesis or dissertation research. Costs associated with preparation of the thesis or dissertation manuscript itself are not allowable under this program. Matching support from the student's department is required.
Eligibility is restricted to one award per student per degree.
Support will be provided only to one student for each paper and only then if the student is actually presenting the paper. Because these awards are intended to defray only partially the total costs to the applicants, matching support from the student's department is required. Contact your department for information. Many opportunities for grants for graduate study are available from public and private institutions. Information about these outside sources of funding may be available in a student's academic department.
