Professional Development Grant
Call for Submissions - Spring 2023
Submission Deadline: Rolling
Students can apply for up to $500 to support professional development activities. Eligible activities include registration fees for workshops and statistics courses. Funded activities may take place during spring or summer 2023. Given the availability of funds for conference travel from the Norton School and GPSC, these awards will not be given to cover the costs of travel to professional conferences. Funds may also not be used to pay article processing costs for open-access journals.
The submission deadlines are rolling meaning that you may apply at any time, but funds are limited. Each FSHD student is eligible to apply one time in the spring semester. To allow time for application review and processing, please apply at least 4 weeks before funds are needed. All funds are subject to availability.
Eligibility:
- Applicants must be graduate students in good academic standing in the FSHD program at the University of Arizona. Students in all stages of the program are eligible to apply.
- Students are eligible for one award per academic year
Process:
Please submit application materials electronically as one PDF to families@cals.arizona.edu.
