The GSA International Student Award was created to help alleviate the financial burdens international students incur while obtaining university degrees. The GSA recognizes that international graduate students make a significant contribution to graduate student life on campus while facing additional financial barriers, including much higher tuition fees and limited rights to work off campus. Applicants must be members of the GSA. Three $1000 awards are given out once a year. 

Successful applicants will be contacted April 20th and should receive their funding within the first week of May 2025.  Please submit your application here. Any related inquiries can be emailed to [email protected].

Applications will be open from March 21st and will close on April 7th at 4pm.
