International Graduate Student Award (up to $500)

The GSA International Student Award was created to help alleviate the financial burdens international students incur while obtaining university degrees. The GSA recognizes that international graduate students make a significant contribution to graduate student life on campus while facing additional financial barriers, including much higher tuition fees and limited rights to work off-campus. Applicants must be members of the GSA. Please complete the application at the GSA Awards website.
