Dissertation Expenses Grant:
For doctoral students at the dissertation stage. Grants (up to a total of $2500 on applications throughout one’s graduate career) cover special expenses students may incur to distinguish the dissertation in its field nationally or internationally and increase the competitiveness of an application for external funding. Please note that standard expenses associated with the dissertation are not covered by these grants, (i.e. photocopying costs) nor is the acquisition of any software or equipment that the University owns.

-travel to and/or residency at libraries or archives that will make dissertation exceptional
-residency expenses associated with travel to libraries or archives.
* Photocopying expenses or other costs associated with normal dissertation expenses will not be considered.
