The Graduate Thesis/Dissertation Research Support Program is a grant program for WSU graduate students who are engaged in approved thesis/dissertation research. These grants are intended to help defray necessary but unusual expenses essential to the performance of thesis or dissertation research. Costs associated with preparation of the thesis or dissertation manuscript itself are not allowable under this program. Awards are limited to a maximum of $1,000 for dissertation research and $500 for thesis projects. Matching support from the student's department is required. Eligibility is restricted to one award per student per degree. Funds from the Thesis/Dissertation program must be spent within six months of the date of award. Applications and additional information are available at http://www.gradschool.wayne.edu/funding/2008ThesisDissertationApplication.pdf.
The Graduate Student Professional Travel Fund (GSPTF) is a limited fund made available to encourage and support master’s and doctoral student paper presentations at conventions, conferences, workshops, etc. Awards of up to $250 are made on the basis of merit to support the travel costs of students who present papers or poster sessions at professional meetings. Support will be provided only to one student for each paper and only then if the student is actually presenting the paper. Because these awards are intended to defray only partially the total costs to the applicants, matching support from the student’s department is required. Students may receive only one award per fiscal year (October 1, 2008 through September 30, 2009). Application for this award is made in the student’s department.

to the contact person of the department in which the student plans to major.
