| The
Graduate Student's Achievement Fund |
A committee chaired by the
Associate Dean for Admissions and Minority
Student Affairs administers a fund which
is used to recognize significant achievement
in any research or creative activity which
has been recognized by some external (to
the home department) organization. The
normal award is $300. Application forms
are available in the Graduate
School. The deadline for Round I consideration
is typically in November, and the deadline
for Round II consideration is generally
in March. Contact Carolyn
Howard in the Psychology Department
Office or the Graduate School for specific
dates.

Thesis
and Dissertation Research Support |
The Associate Provost and
Dean of the Graduate School will entertain
requests for unusual expenses associated
with a student's research for the master's
thesis or the doctoral dissertation. There
is no application form, but you must briefly
describe your thesis or dissertation project
and explain why these expenses are necessary
and offer a tentative budget. You must
also have the endorsement of your advisor
or department chair. Awards will not exceed
$300 for master's students or $600 for
doctoral students, and will often be less,
depending on the demand. Requests for this
special funding must be made by November
1 (Fall round) and April 1 (Spring round).

| Graduate
Student Association Travel Assistance Fund |
The GSA Travel Assistance
Fund is designed to reimburse graduate
students for travel to meetings, conventions,
conferences, and workshops sponsored by
professional organizations. This fund is
administered by the Graduate
Student Association. Application forms
and guidelines are available in the Graduate
School Office, but questions about the
fund or the process should be directed
to the GSA officers. Deadlines for each
round of funding are listed on the application.
There is a round of funding during each
semester (fall, spring, and summer). In
recent years, maximum funding has ranged
from $150 to $200 per year. Students who
are presenting a paper at an international
conference outside the 50 states and Puerto
Rico can apply for supplementary travel
funds from the Graduate School.
