Graduate Research and Travel Grant Program
The Graduate Research and Travel Grant Program is designed to provide financial support to graduate students for research or scholarly activities related to their program of study to enable them to better understand the scientific process, experience discovery, develop their analytical and communication skills, and gain exposure to national ideas through the presentation of the results of their research at conferences. Our grant program has funded field and laboratory research as well as computer application and software development. The Graduate Research and Travel Grant Program is managed by the The Graduate School with funding from the Provost's Office, the college deans and the Institute for Public Service and Sponsored Programs.
