Funding available to further advanced studies

The Graduate Student Association seeks proposals for awards to assist advanced-level studies and research at UAA. Awards of up to $750 are available for currently enrolled individual students or per research project, if more than one successful applicant requests funding for the same project. Preference will be given to graduate students. However, all UAA students, if enrolled for at least 3 credits during the semester of application (or students in joint UAA-UAF programs), in any discipline, may apply. Applicants may seek funds for supplies to conduct research, travel for business related to education goals, professional society memberships, or anything else that enhances a  student's program of study. Funds will not be awarded for tuition, student fees, the applicant's salary, and other basic costs of attending UAA. Those awarded funds will be required to give a presentation of their work at the GSA Graduate Studies and Research Symposium in Spring 2008. Proposals must be submitted electronically no later than Saturday, Dec. 1, by 5 pm, to gsa@uaa.alaska.edu. Applications available online at http://gsa.uaa.alaska.edu/.
