Funding opportunities for graduate students
The Chateaubriand Fellowship is a grant offered by the Embassy of France in the United States. The fellowship allows doctorate students enrolled in American universities to conduct research in France for up to 10 months. Chateaubriand recipients receive a round trip ticket to France, a stipend and health insurance. The STEM fellowship program and the HSS fellowship program have different modes of selection, but are both highly prestigious and merit-based.
The American Educational Research Association has announced its 2013-2014 fellowship and funding opportunities that are dedicated to enhancing the pool of diverse graduate students and early career scholars in education-related fields.
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory Higher Education Research Experiences provides opportunities for qualified students of all levels to gain practical research experiences and increase scientific literacy.
Travel Grant program
The Graduate Student Travel Grant program for graduate students has been established to encourage the presentation of the results of research or scholarly activity by providing small travel grants for degree-seeking students enrolled in master’s or doctoral programs. This year, there will be grants awarded of up to $200. Awards will be made without regard to quotas or distribution among fields and departments; however, no student will be funded for more than one trip in an academic year. Funds are limited and students applying to the program are not guaranteed support. If you are receiving funds from your department/grant, please let us know so we can work with them for your reimbursement.
