4. Funding for Conferences!
The Department of Political Science will support one conference trip (up to $500) for each phD student, depending on availability of funds. These are offered on a "once in a lifetime" and "first come, first serve" basis. See the Graduate Director if you are interested. The Graduate School also offers some PhD graduate travel allowance and students should first seek funding from the Graduate School.
