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 starting in the Fall of 2007 and to be continued on a rolling basis in the semesters ahead.
These grants of up to $200 per project (individually for print or radio projects; in teams for TV or new media) 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 grants coordinator, Elizabeth Rogers.
At this time, students should apply for the grants, listing anticipated costs. Ms. Rogers, in consultation with Dean Huff, will make a determination of which applications to approve and for how much. She may ask for a separate note/recommendation from your Master’s Project adviser.
In the weeks ahead, after the approved expenses are spent, she will work with the finance office to provide reimbursements to students. 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.
As this is a rolling amount of money, students can apply at any time during the Master’s Project process, but we cannot guarantee availability.
If you are interested, please fill in the online form available below.
Please designate a single person to submit the form on behalf of team projects.
If you have any questions, please put them into the comments/questions section. Only applications via this form will be considered.
PLEASE NOTE: We are unable to consider any projects that were completed before the Fall 2007 semester.
