The Graduate Student Organization (GSO) offers grants on a competitive basis to graduate students within the Steinhardt School to help defray the cost of various professional activities related to graduate studies such as attending professional conferences, research projects, art exhibits, musical performances, speaking engagements and so forth. These grants are awarded as reimbursements for expenses related to professional development activities.
Grants are generally awarded twice a year, once in the fall semester, and once in the spring semester for activities completed prior to the application deadline. In previous years, the maximum amount of each award was $250. Funds can be used to cover conference fees, travel and accommodation expenses, and presentation supplies. No personal expenses, food, or beverages are covered. Please note that because these grants are competitive, there is no guarantee that funds will be awarded.
