Fall Deadline for Thesis Research Grants
The Graduate School's fall deadline for thesis research grants is October 1 (the application deadline for summer or fall research is March 1). The competition is open to students at the beginning phases of graduate work as well as to ABDs. Grants of up to $2,500 are available to support thesis research, such as domestic travel and expenses for fieldwork, postage, and photocopying. Grants of up to $5,000 are available to conduct thesis research abroad for six weeks to six months. (Grant requests for shorter trips may be considered, by exception, if well justified). Applications do not need to be approved by the department (although we would appreciate a copy of the application) but do require two letters of recommendation.
