Summer 2017 Fellowship Application Support Program
The OFCE with the UA Honor's College is pleased to announce the Summer 2017 Fellowship Application Support Program. We provide support to students applying for fellowships to support graduate level work. We also provide support to students applying for dissertation research or dissertation write-up funding.

Questions: Shelley Hawthorne Smith (shellh at email.arizona.edu<mailto:shellh at email.arizona.edu>)
Serve as a GPSC Travel Grant Judge
One of the best ways to learn to write strong grant applications is to evaluate them. Serving as a Travel Grant Judge is a small commitment with a big benefit. The process will only take 1.5 to 2 hours but will give you an insider's perspective on an evaluation process similar to major granting agencies like NSF/NIH/NEH. If you would like to be a judge, please email gpscfunding at email.arizona.edu<mailto:gpscfunding at email.arizona.edu> as soon as possible.
