Graduate Student Life Grants

The Graduate Student Life Grants program is a request-for-proposal process inviting graduate students, spouses, faculty or staff to submit creative, community building ideas for possible funding. This is a unique opportunity to enhance graduate student life at the Institute with experiences outside the classroom and lab.

Proposals may focus within a discipline, across departments, within residence halls, across a variety of groups, and elsewhere. Their purpose should be to explore the role and relevance of community in creating a more balanced and fulfilling graduate experience.

Please note the deadline for submitting proposals has been moved! The deadline for 2009-2010 is Friday, January 22, 2010.

Here are some ideas to get you started!
