Graduate Student Announcements
The Graduate College has made improvements to their website
In an effort to assist our current graduate students, we have created two new sections on the Funding Opportunities page of our website. http://gradweb.ou.edu/Funding/index.asp. The pages are under construction.
- Travel and Research Grants: a central location where current graduate students can find available sources of funding from their department, college, Graduate Student Senate, and the Robberson Travel and Research Grants. If you're interested, submit the attached Request to Post TR Funding on GC Website form to the Graduate College.
- Graduate Assistantships: this page is dedicated to publicizing new GAship openings within academic departments. Note: the Graduate College will not post the actual position information on gradweb.ou.edu but will include a LINK to your the department's website or to a PDF that explains the GAship. Those departments interested in publicizing a GAship on our website must submit the attached Request to Post GA Position on the GC Website form to the Graduate College.
If you would like to include your department's information on the Travel and Research Grants page, please carefully complete the appropriate request form and submit it to the Graduate College via email (gradinfo@ou.edu).
Research and Travel Funds - Students - Spring 2008
The College's Research Committee has limited support money for Doctoral Graduate Students who may need assistance with conducting research or presenting at a conference. The following guidelines should be used in constructing your request:
- Travel related to research or performance presentations will be given priority for funding because of limited amounts of money. In a cover letter, make sure to CLARIFY the nature of your travel...i.e. a research presentation.
- You must submit a detailed budget followed with a narrative. Please keep in mind we have limited funds and we encourage you to conserve funds as best as possible (e.g., roommates instead of a single room).
- If you are submitting a request for research support, you must submit a copy of the IRB approval letter (this includes funding to support your dissertation research).
- Provide a copy of a letter of support from a faculty member or faculty advisor.
- Provide a copy of your letter of acceptance for the conference (or a copy of your presentation in the conference catalog).
- Submit these application materials to Dr. Jon Pedersen in the Dean's Office by March 1 for Spring semester awards.
- Graduate students are limited to one travel award in an academic year (example: Summer 2007 - Spring 2008).
Traditionally the total amount of research/travel requests exceeds our budget. The Research Committee makes every attempt to equitably distribute funds. Other sources of funding include the Graduate Student Senate, Graduate College and your department. There are limitations on how money awarded can be used. For example, funds can be used for per diem for travel but cannot be used for food for research subjects. Also, we cannot fund class projects.
The Committee will review applications and make awards in April for Spring requests. Requests may be made after the deadline as long as money lasts. If you have any questions, e-mail Dr. Pedersen at pedersenj@ou.edu or contact your faculty departmental representative.

Graduating Graduate Students need to submit Vita
The College of Education Student Tracking, Assessment and Retention Committee (CoE-STAR) is asking that all graduating graduate students submit to appropriate departmental staff a vita (resume) prior to graduation.
Please place your vita in an envelope and send that to your Graduate Programs Officer in your department. This process will occur every Fall and Spring semester for graduating graduate students only.
If you need additional information please contact me at pedersenj@ou.edu.
I appreciate your assistance!
