Announcing the Graduate Student Conference Fund
The Office of Graduate Student Life is pleased to announce the creation of the Graduate Student Conference Fund to support Hamline students as they pursue academic, professional, and artistic endeavors outside of the classroom.
The Conference Fund is designed to provide one-time funding to assist individual graduate students in attending appropriate academic and professional conferences, workshops, or meetings. Grants will be awarded up to $150 and are meant to reduce the student's expenses, not to provide full financial support for the activity. Grant monies may be used to reimburse registration fees, travel, lodging and food expenses.
