Graduate Student Digest

The purpose of Research Grants for Graduate Students (RGGS) is to support research and creative activities initiated and conducted by SIUE classified graduate students to enhance their academic progress. SIUE classified graduate masters-level students may submit a proposal for RGGS funding if the following conditions are met:

1. Good academic standing (3.0 GPA with at least 6 completed hours in the graduate program),
2. Enrollment in graduate-level coursework as a degree-seeking masters-level graduate student during the academic term for which they are seeking funding. Previous RGGS recipients are ineligible for a second grant.

Applicants may request up to $500. Awards may be granted for the full amount requested or for a lesser amount, depending upon availability of funds and the appropriateness of the amount requested. All meritorious applications are funded up to the limits of the RGGS funds available for each academic term. Students must maintain good academic standing and enrollment during the tenure of the grant. Students may be allowed up to nine months to expend grant funds and submit a final accounting report. Awards are for future expenditures only. Recipients cannot request funds to reimburse money spent before the RGGS is awarded.

The Spring applications will open on March1, 2019 and the deadline to apply is April 1, 2019.  Proposals received after the deadline will not be reviewed for funding.

Dr. Carolyn Pryor will host a workshop to assist students with preparing the application.  
Friday, February 15th at 11:30am-12:30pm
Peck Hall, Room 3117
