Graduate Student Council Grants

The Graduate Student Council provides research and conference funding. Scholarly research and conference attendance are integral to professional, master's, and doctoral degrees. As graduate students, conferences and research play an important role in academic growth and development by providing the opportunity for training, networking, and exposure to the latest research; therefore, GSC established a fund to award individual reimbursement grants to assist graduate students in conference attendance and research.

The purpose of the GSC Research and Conference Reimbursement (RCR) Grant is to support and facilitate graduate and professional student research initiatives and professional formation through the attendance of professional conferences.

The program is designed to help offset the costs associated with scholarly research and conference attendance that are not directly funded by other agencies, schools/departments within the university, or grants to advising faculty members.

Reimbursements are awarded to applicants for the following, within their field of study:

• Conference/training attendance (approval from school/college dean required)
• Research/Conference presentations (approval from school/college dean required)
• University-based research projects
• Professional Organization Membership Fees

Students may apply only for the RCR grant once per academic year. Applicants for the RCR grant may not apply for other GSC grants/scholarships (i.e., GSC Textbook scholarship).

The application process is easy:

1) Review the official GSC Funding Request Policy
2) Complete the online application.
