OFFER: Master’s Project Grants for M.S.
M.S. MASTER’S PROJECTS: Small grants for reporting expenses
The Dean’s Office is pleased to offer a limited number of small grants for M.S. Master’s Projects. * Please note that M.A. students have received a separate memo about funding for theses.
These grants of up to $200 per project (individually for print, print/broadcast hybird or radio projects; in teams for digital media and documentary) are for a limited number of projects.
Grants are made for verifiable reporting expenses such as research trips in the Tri-state area, and, an occasional trip to, say, Washington, D.C.(remember, your primary reportage is supposed to be near the NYC area). Grants are not to be used for money to go home during Winter Break. These are not cash advances, but reimbursements for money spent with approval from the Dean’s Office and grants coordinator, Evelyn Corchado.
Students will be required to submit receipts for their expenses. Reimbursements will be made via student financial accounts.
If an approved grantee ends up not using as much was originally approved, he/she will be reimbursed for actual expenditures and the remaining money will go back in the pool.
Here is the timeline for the process:
- October 21: M.S. Master’s Project grants application opens
- December 14: M.S. Master’s Project grants application closes
- January 18: Students are notified via e-mail if they were approved
-
January 18: Approved students may begin submitting their receipts via the
online link - May 3: Last day to submit receipts for reimbursement
PLEASE NOTE: Right now are unable to consider any projects other than those due in Spring 2010 semester (we will open up the process again for summer and fall projects).
