What: Changes to the GSA grant policy
 

There have been important changes to the GSA grant policy, approved by the GSA Senate, effective October 6th, 2008. Previously, graduate students were allowed up to $500 per grant each semester to present at professional conferences, with tenure cap at

$2,500 for PhD students and $1,500 for Masters students. Students will now be allowed up to $1,000/grant for the fiscal year to present at conferences ($250/grant to attend as a non-presenter). Additionally, receipts MUST be submitted to the GSA office no later than 2 weeks after the end of the conference. Any submissions after that time will not be accepted. One may petition an exception to the 2 week deadline, in advance of the conference, to the GSA Executive Board. Petitions must state why it would be impossible for one to submit a receipt within those 2 weeks and decisions are at the sole discretion of the Executive Board.
