Summer Research Fellowships carry stipends of $5,000.

International Conference Student Support Awards

The Office of President Wallace Loh and the Graduate School are pleased to announce the establishment of the International Conference Student Support Award.

The International Conference Student Support Award will cover a graduate student’s conference registration fee up to $500. To be eligible, a graduate student must be presenting a paper, poster, or other research or creative material at a major, international scholarly, scientific, or professional conference that is held outside the US. Applications are currently being accepted for travel scheduled for January 1, 2011 through June 30, 2011. (Please note that this is the pilot period for the award; during the spring semester, we shall determine if the program will be extended. If so, we will set a deadline for travel from July 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011.)
