Graduate School Emergency Fund

Support a graduate student facing unforeseen challenges. For graduate students already balancing tight schedules and budgets, emergencies can significantly hinder or halt their educational progress.

These funds may be allocated for medical issues, housing crises, bereavement travel, or other unexpected circumstances.

Advance a graduate career with travel. The Graduate School provides funding to help support travel for graduate students to attend academic conferences across the country, present their research, and network with industry professionals. This experience is key to our students' education and success.

The administration of these funds and selection of students are provided by the Graduate Student Government.
