We are pleased to announce the availability of child care grants to subsidize childcare expenses for full-time Cornell student families who fall within the eligibility guidelines.  Applications are available now and will be due on Friday, October 17, 2014 (awards to be made in early December 2014).  


 

More details and application available on this site: http://studentparents.dos.cornell.edu/  Please email Laura Weiss ([email protected]), Associate Dean of Students, with any questions.

Fall/Winter 2014 Graduate School Research Travel Grants

 

The Graduate School will award grants to graduate students for fall and winter 2014 research-related travel. Applications are due to the Graduate School (350 Caldwell Hall) by 4:30 p.m. Oct. 1, 2014 for fall and winter travel.  Research Travel Grant


 

Awards will be announced in mid October.

 

In awarding research travel grants, the Graduate School gives priority to Ph.D. students who have or will have passed the A Exam prior to initiating their research travel. Priority also is given to requests for pre-dissertation research. Prior awardees are given low priority. Field trips related to academic classes are also given low priority.

 

Because the Graduate School seeks to award a maximum number of grants from limited funds, awards are typically no more than $2,000. Students are encouraged to submit requests that reflect careful budgeting. For example, applicants should use public transportation when practical, plan on preparing their own meals whenever possible, and secure modest accommodations.

 

Please note that research travel grants are for travel that is directly related to dissertation research, not conference travel. Conference Travel Grant Application
