Awards & Funding

GPSG recognizes excellence in graduate and professional student accomplishments.

Each academic year, the GPSG Awards Committee collaborates with the University Graduate School to award over $35,000 in grants to students within a variety of disciplines. GPSG is unique in the sense that graduate students facilitate their peers’ financial awards – graduate students themselves have a voice in choosing which research, travel, and faculty mentor will be chosen for funding each academic year.
