Professional Development Grants Available to Graduate Students
The University of Alabama provides enrolled graduate students the opportunity to grow professionally through fellowships and other awards not associated with scholarships or compensation. Grad students can use this funding to travel nationally or internationally to attend a conference, present their research or accept an award.
Conference awards are reserved for graduate students selected to present their research or creative work at a significant academic or professional organization’s gathering in their field. Research awards are primarily given to graduate students for their thesis, pre-dissertation or dissertation research.
Current graduate students can only submit one conference request and one research request per year. (A “year” is defined as fall semester through the following summer term.) Requests for awards must be initiated by the student, endorsed by their faculty advisor and department chair, and submitted to the graduate school. The department may provide a 1:1 match up to the maximum of the following amounts:
- Conference travel: $500 within North America; $800 beyond North America
- Research funding: $300 within North America; $600 beyond North America
If you want to initiate a request to the Graduate School, start by logging into the UA Grad Student Portal. Once logged in, students should select “Funding” and then “CRF Request Form.” Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the form.
