Purpose
Professional Advancement Grants (PAG) are provided to graduate and professional students at Iowa State by the Graduate and Professional Student Senate (GPSS) to help defray expenses related to conference travel.
Amount of Support
The maximum amount of a PAG award for the 2025-2026 fiscal year is $250.
Receiving PAG Funds
- An applicant who has never received a PAG before has priority, and will receive a decision as long as there are funds available.
- After approval of the first-time applicant on the first-come, first-served policy, remaining funds will be allocated to returning PAG applicants on a first-come, first-served policy.
- A student will NEVER receive PAG funds upfront, they will only be disbursed as a reimbursement for actual expenses occurred.
- The Graduate College manages the PAG account, and verifies all withdrawal requests.
