Dean’s Graduate Conference Travel Grants
Due to travel restrictions with COVID-19, the Dean's Graduate Conference Travel Grants are on hold until further notice.
The Travel Grant provides reimbursement of certain expenses for students who must travel to present, exhibit, or perform at competitive academic conferences. These are offered by quarter. Travel grants are also available to Masters students but preference is given to students in terminal degree programs (PhD, PsyD and MFA). Grants are not awarded retroactively (i.e., for travel already begun or completed). Grants are competitive; please see the CCAS website for applicable deadlines and procedures.
Dean’s Graduate Instructorship (DGI)
The DGI offers PhD students the unique experience of designing and teaching their own undergraduate course. Awardees teach a one-semester course and receive the standard Graduate Assistantship salary and stipend in their respective departments. In addition, the DGI covers required tuition for the semester (up to 9 credits).
Dean’s Dissertation Completion Fellowship (DDF)
The DDF typically includes necessary tuition (usually 1 credit per semester) and stipend equivalent to the normal GA salary and stipend for one or two semesters. All applicants must be in candidacy and not exceeded the 8 year time to degree limit. This award is typically granted to students who have used their 5 years of funding and are nearing completion of their dissertation.
