Professional Development

Good Afternoon,

            The Graduate School, in conjunction with the Graduate Student Senate (GSS), is piloting a program to support students who need financial support for professional development opportunities.  If you have graduate students who are hoping to travel for professional development (i.e., workshop or other training), this is an opportunity, in addition to the regular GSS funding, to receive financial help.  Applications are accepted on a rolling basis.  They may be submitted at any time, however, due to the nature of the source of funding, all travel must be completed by May 31, 2019 in order to be considered.  Applications will be accepted and awarded until all funds have been allocated. 

            Please have your students access this link https://gss.utk.edu/pdtravel/ for more information and application.  Students must be signed into their UT Google account to access the application.  They must complete the signature page before beginning the application as they will need to upload a PDF of the completed signature page as part of their application. 

Thank you.
