Program Description / Application Procedure
Programs are invited to encourage students to apply for the Rosa Colecchio Travel Award for Dissertation Research Enhancement.

- Techniques, equipment, and methodologies not available on this campus
- opportunities to carry out extraordinary field research
This program cannot be used for travel to a professional meeting.
Applicants may request up to $300. One or more awards, depending on availability of funds, are made each year. Requests are reviewed by an Advisory Committee of faculty and graduate students appointed by the Dean of the Graduate School. Awards are based on consideration of well-presented and justified need, and the merit of the project. Click here for an application form.
