Women’s, Gender, and Sexuality Studies (WGSS) Graduate Student Research Funding Application

About

The WGSS Program is happy to announce a new funding resource for graduate students in the WGSS Certificate or Combined PhD program. Up to seven WGSS graduate students per academic year will receive up to $700 each towards travel to an academic conference related to their work in the Certificate or Combined PhD program. WGSS understands that those who do interdisciplinary scholarship often need to attend multiple conferences a year, and we are grateful to be able to support the professional development of our Certificate and PhD students. Applications will be accepted twice per academic year, in February and October, with priority given to those who are presenting papers and who lack other sources of funding. Note that the award does not cover food expenses.

These funds cannot provide reimbursement for expenses already incurred.
