Professional Advancement Grants (PAG) are provided to graduate and professional students by the Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) to help defray expenses related to professional meeting and conference travel.

PAG funding for the 23'-24' academic year (fiscal year 24') is $250 per graduate student or researcher.

There are a limited number of PAG awards available each month, so if you are not notified on the 16th of the month prior to your conference, you were not selected by the lottery drawing to receive an award.

Watch this video before you apply!

Deadline for applications are 5:00 pm on the 15th of the month before the month of the conference/event

First-time PAG applicants are prioritized and automatically approved

Please check with your advisor, supervisor, travel office, etc. to ensure that you are aware of any and all COVID-related policies that may affect your travel plans.
