Dissertation Research Grant Award

This award is intended to help support dissertation research by providing monetary assistance to cover research expenses. Awards may be up to $2,000. All awardees will have the expectation that they present on their research at a USP colloquium during the same academic year that they receive research funds, and to provide a short summary and progress report for the USP newsletter and website. Award decisions are made in April. Recipients will be publicly recognized at the Student Research Forum. A reminder to apply and application information is sent to students in early February.
