Dean's Graduate Research Grants

The Dean's Graduate Research Grants program creates a micro-grant environment in the College of Arts & Sciences at Georgia State University. The grants are designed to support graduate students with conference travel as presenting authors, research-related expenditures (books, software, supplies), or attendance at workshops, seminars, and skill-building programs related to dissertation, thesis, or academic work. The Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences determines the number and recipients of grants. Awards vary and have a maximum amount of $1,000, with partial awards potentially granted. The program emphasizes academic integrity and requires that applications be written solely by the applicant without use of AI software. Recipients must demonstrate the importance of their conference presentation or scholarly project within their field and explain how it contributes to their academic research and the generation of new knowledge or creative work.
