Funded projects

The Office of Graduate Education created the Grad Student Life Grants in 2002 to foster community building and innovative ideas on campus for graduate students. In Fall 2019, we expanded this to cover more facets of the graduate experience under Grad Student Experience Grants; also offering more funding cycles for improved flexibility.

Successful proposals have followed a variety of formats, from events embracing large and inclusive constituencies, to those providing a focused experience for fewer individuals, to those offering a framework or structure for ongoing contact. Both individual grant authors and teams of organizers have executed successful projects.
