The Graduate Student Research Award covers the various costs incurred by graduate students in the design and conduction of research. These funds may be used for research-related costs, including poster printing, preparation of questionnaires, or surveys, examining archival records, transcription, payment of subjects, travel for the purpose of collecting data, and similar items. Funds may not be used to support the purchase of books, laptop computers, or software except where that software is not available through College computer labs or the University virtual desktop system.
Support for the Graduate Student Research Award comes from the Graduate Student Enhancement Fund, supported by the College of Education Tuition Supplement. The maximum annual award in a single fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) is $1,000.
The Audrey Qualls Travel Award and The Office of the Dean Graduate Student Travel Award cover costs incurred by graduate students in the presentation of their research. Funds may be used toward conference registration, and other conference related travel costs such as transportation, hotel and meal costs. Note: if a room is shared, each person must obtain a bill in their name.
The maximum annual Audrey Qualls travel award is $300 in a fiscal year (July 1 – June 30).
The maximum annual Office of the Dean Graduate Student Travel Award is $300 in a fiscal year (July 1- June 30).
The Audrey Qualls Travel Award is supported by the Audrey Qualls Memorial Fund, managed by the Iowa Testing Programs. The Office of the Dean Graduate Student Travel Award is supported by the Mary Bywater Cross and Robert Newman Fund and the Edna Jones Johnson Memorial Fund. We are grateful to our benefactors for supporting these travel awards for our graduate students.
