A fund that supports a teaching or research assistantship for one graduate student, including tuition on stipend can make a tremendous difference in the lives of students from underserved and underrepresented communities. Many want to pursue a graduate degree, but do not have the resources needed to afford tuition and to devote time conducting research, participating in innovation circles, or engaging in a community intern or fellowship opportunity. With your generous support, we can support graduate students with resources to conduct research vital to the region.
A fund that provides support for promising graduate students, travel awards for students to attend conferences, and stipends to support professional development.
