Please use this form to apply for funding from the Office of the Vice Provost for Graduate Education for graduate student grants. Grants are given for the following purposes:
- Travel: Scholarly or creative activity preparation - requests that involve the graduate student traveling for data collection/research,
creation of artistic work, or other travel related to executing/preparing research/creative
activity.
- Travel: Scholarly or creative activity dissemination - requests that involve the graduate student traveling to disseminate/share finished
works to an audience, either through presentation, exhibition, or performance.
- Travel: Conference, professional meeting or festival attendance only - requests that involve the graduate student traveling to attend a scholarly/creative
event WITHOUT disseminating the graduate student's own research/creative activity.
- Scholarly or creative activity financial support, non-travel - requests for monetary support for purchasing consumable supplies, study participant
compensation, licensing fees related to necessary components of a research/creative
project (royalties, per user fees, etc.), or other materials necessary to carry out
the graduate student's research/creative activity.
The maximum request is $1000; however, supplemental funding may be available for activities
that exceed this amount. For this reason, you will be asked to estimate all expenses
even if the total is in excess of $1000. Students may receive partial funding. Funds
may be subject to tax as specified by state and federal law.
Review Timeline Considerations:
Applications are routed to reviewers twice per month, on the 1st and 15th, with their
decisions requested within two weeks. Please keep this in mind if you are applying
with little time before your start date/travel date. For example, if you submit your
completed application on October 18, you should not expect a decision until mid-November.

This application requires the following information, which you will be entering into
text boxes and uploading support materials as needed.
- Clear explanation of the purpose of your request. (limit 100 words)
