Research Awards
Graduate Research Project Awards (GRPA)
GradGov offers $500 awards to 10 graduate students each year, and these awards can be used toward travel or any other research expense. Many recipients use the money for travel in relation to their research project (which does not have to be a thesis in particular, but can be any research project); GRPA does have a specific travel grant for both conferences and dissertations.
Information about GRPA will be included in our weekly mailer, and we'll also send out an individual email with information in addition to promotions on our social media platforms. The Graduate School of Arts & Sciences (GSAS) also has many other research-related funding opportunities and general funding opportunities.
