GradSEHD Grants Program
I - Cohort Development Grants
Statement of Purpose: The primary purpose of the Cohort Development Grant is to provide funding for events, programs, and services that directly impact College of Education and Human Development (CEHD) graduate and professional students. These events can include social events or academic initiatives that contribute to the overall academic, professional, and social development of CEHD graduate and professional students.
Eligibility: CEHD student organizations or groups are eligible for the Cohort Development Grant. Only registered students will be considered. CEHD student organizations or groups are eligible for one award up to $300 each academic year.
Guidelines: 1. The Cohort Development Grant will be awarded only to programs to which all CEHD graduate and professional students have equal access without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, or sexual orientation. 2. Applications are available on the GradSEHD website (Documents and Forms) and must be submitted to the GradSEHD mailbox in 360 Education Sciences Building. 3. Fundraisers or profit-generating events will not be funded. 4. To be considered for the funding, the applications must provide honest, complete, and detailed information about the program or event for which the funding is being sought. Incomplete proposals will not be considered for funding. 5. GradSEHD will not fund events retroactively – applications must be submitted prior to the event. 6. If an entrance/registration fee is charged, the fee must be available to all CEHD graduate and professional students at a reduced rate. GradSEHD may assist with and advertise the selling of tickets. 7. Any grant money received must be used for the event or program for which it is awarded. Unused portions of the grant must be refunded to GradSEHD. 8. Publicity regarding the event program must be made throughout the College, and must state that funds were received from GradSEHD.
II - Travel and Research Grants
Statement of Purpose: Travel and Research Grants are intended to help support professional or academic development for current graduate and professional students in CEHD. Due to limited funding, GradSEHD grants are only available to registered students and should not be expected to cover all related expenses. Travel and Research Grants are intended to offer partial support of travel and research for individual graduate and professional students.
Eligibility: GradSEHD receives its funding from Graduate & Professional Student Assembly (GAPSA), therefore Travel and Research Grants are only available to current graduate and professional students in CEHD who pay the GAPSA Student Services Fee. You must provide proof of payment of this fee (a print-out of the University student account statement will suffice).
Types of Grants: 1. Travel grant: Applicants are eligible for a maximum amount of $250. Eligible expenses include airfare, ground transportation, lodging, and conference/meeting registration fee. Ground transportation and lodging within the Twin Cities Metro and alcohol are not eligible expenses. Applicants are eligible for one Travel Grant per year. 2. Research grant: Applicants are eligible for a maximum amount of $250. Eligible expenses include data collection, data analysis, and publication costs for research conducted independently (e.g., a thesis or dissertation). Applicants are eligible for one Research Grant per year.
Guidelines: 1. Travel and Research Grants will be awarded to graduate and professional students without regard to race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status, disability, public assistance status, veteran status, or sexual orientation. 2. Applications are available on the GradSEHD website (Documents and Forms) and must be submitted to the GradSEHD mailbox in 360 Education Sciences Building. 3. Travel and Research Grants will be awarded only to registered graduate and professional students in CEHD who pay the GAPSA Student Services Fee. 4. Travel and Research Grants will not be awarded to support full funding for the travel or research. Students are encouraged to seek additional sources of funding for remaining costs. Awards will be given after the grantee submits appropriate receipts and documentation. 5. To be considered for funding, applications must provide honest, complete, and detailed information about the travel or research for which the funding is being sought. Incomplete proposals will not be considered for funding. In addition to your completed application, adequate documentation must be provided to help support your request.
Things you need to know about GradSEHD grants: 1. Due date: Grant applications are reviewed on a monthly basis. Travel Grants are due on the last Friday of the month prior to travel, however it is highly recommended that Travel Grants be submitted two months prior to travel. Research and Cohort Development Grants are reviewed monthly as submitted. Applications are only accepted from September to May 2. Drop-off location: Applications must be dropped off in GradSEHD’s mailbox in 360 Education Sciences Building. |
