This grant competition is for graduate students who are proposing to undertake research or creative projects in the spring or summer. Awards are offered to project proposals that will provide both scholarly fulfillment and help students take a significant stride toward degree completion. The range of awards is generally between $500 and $1,000. In most cases, grants won through this competition will award only partial funding for a project. Students may wish to consult their academic departments to determine if supplemental funding is available. These projects are funded by the Graduate School, so depending upon the funds allocated, VPA is able to make three to five awards each year. The proposal process normally takes place toward the end of spring semester| title | Creative Opportunity Grant |

These awards are offered once a year for current graduate students and provide support for single-or multiple-student projects with preference being given to interdisciplinary projects. COG grants generally do not exceed $750. Deadlines are September 15 and January 15, respectively. |
