Dear Graduate Program Coordinators,
The Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) at Virginia Tech would like to encourage fellow graduate students to take advantage of the funding opportunities available for research and travel. The Graduate Research and Development Program (GRDP), serves to provide financial assistance to Master and PhD candidates for degree contingent research conducted in Virginia Tech. Likewise, the Travel Fund Program (TFP) is designed to meet these needs by providing graduate students financial assistance for presenting at conferences and scientific meetings, travel expenses, registration fees, lodging, meals, and other various expenses. The program also can be used to support international travel.
For more information on how to register and application process, visit our website http://www.gsa.uusa.vt.edu/programs. The online application process will be opened on September 14th, 2011 and close on October 15th, 2011 for the Fall Cycle. Please direct interested graduate students to the workshop on September 15th from 7:00 pm-9:00 pm in Graduate Life Center Meeting Room F to learn about programs and the application process. In addition, we are actively seeking faculty members to become involved in the GRDP review and selection process. Any interested faculty member can email gsa@vt.edu and state their interest as serving as a faculty reviewer.
Please pass along this information to departmental faculty and graduate students.
Sincerely,
Milad Radiom & Franklin Warren
GRDP and TFP Program Chairs
Graduate Student Assembly
