Graduate students in the College of Engineering and Applied Science can now apply for grants of up to $2,000 to conduct research abroad.
The new Graduate Student Global Enrichment Fund, launched in July, is intended to support graduate students collaborating with university partners around the world and responding to global research challenges.
鈥淲e hope this new funding鈥揳bout $15,000 in total for the first year鈥搘ill remove burdens for students making connections abroad and serve as a reminder that our research and innovations have global impact,鈥� said Andrew Wingfield, director of international programs in the college. 鈥淭hese grants are meant to support relocation costs for graduate students who have secured a research opportunity abroad that closely aligns with CU鈥檚 research strengths and initiatives.鈥�
The fellowships are available to any inbound or outbound graduate student, whether earning a degree from CU Bolder or a university abroad. The application must include a letter of support from a CU faculty member and explain how the project advances strategic research interests or global partnerships, among other requirements.
The college intentionally made this funding available to talented graduate students living abroad who wish to apply their talents in Boulder while simultaneously supporting CU students researching internationally, Wingfield said. These opportunities build capacity and relationships between institutions, faculty members and students engaged in similar research around the globe.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis until all funds are committed.
