Enrich your research and learning

The Division of Graduate Studies fosters collaboration among graduate students and campus resources to enrich the student research and learning occurring across our campus. Whether we are providing financial support, presenting professional development workshops, or offering support for student conferences, our role is to provide a unified experience throughout your graduate studies.

Support for your Academic Experience

Travel, Research and Creative Activity Fund (IAF)

The Intercollegiate Academics Fund (IAF) is a yearly allocation that exists to promote and support intercollegiate academic experiences for our students. Specifically, the IAF supports students in two ways: 1) through a travel fund and 2) through a research and creative activity fund. 

Alternative Support for your Conference

Graduate Studies Conference Fund

The Graduate Studies Opportunity Fund provides graduate students with travel support when traveling for conference purposes. Awards of up to $300 per student per academic year are available.
