Thanks to generous gifts and endowments, the CEOAS Geography and Geospatial Science graduate program is able to offer limited funding to support graduate students’ research activities and research-related participation in professional conferences or workshops.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. Each student is eligible to receive an award once per academic year (summer through spring terms). Awards generally range from $500-1000.
Notification of an award will be sent via OSU’s Scholar Dollars system and funds will be disbursed to the recipient’s OSU student account. Award funds first will be applied to the OSU student account balance. Any remaining award funds will be disbursed via check or direct deposit. By accepting an award, you agree to use the funds for the purpose outlined in your application.
Questions may be directed to Kira Hughes.
