Procedure and Schedule for Awarding Support

The CEGE Program endeavors to support all students needing financial support, using a combination of external and internal funding. The Graduate Research Committee (GRC) makes support recommendations after decisions on admission have been made.

Decisions on financial support and contract offers for the coming academic year are made every spring semester. However, some funding opportunities may become available at other times during the year.

Reappointments to GTA positions are subject to review by the GRC Chair in consultation with the GRC and faculty mentors. Other students may be appointed as graduate research assistants (GRAs) to faculty, and selection is the decision of the faculty advisor providing the financial support.
