Prospective Graduate Student Travel Grants

Graduate faculty researchers are invited to request a grant from the Graduate Studies Office to assist with outstanding prospective graduate students’ campus visits. The purpose of this grant is to help departments to recruit prospective graduate students by funding a portion of the students’ travel expenses to visit the Galveston campus. Grants are available for Galveston faculty recruiting students into a Galveston or College Station master's or doctoral program. Maximum grant funding is $600 per student dependent on funding availability each fiscal year.
