Student Opportunity Funds
The Dean of Studies Office offers several opportunities for students to receive grants to support research, creative projects, and travel to conferences. These grants include Student Opportunity Project Funds (for projects), Student Conference Travel Grants, and Treuhaft Art Technology Grants. We also administer the Levine Internship Awards for funds to support internship experiences. When students complete their grant proposals by the determined deadline, the Office of the Dean of Studies works together with the faculty in order to review the academic status of the students, as well as, the potential learning experience the student wishes to gain by receiving grants. The Office of the Dean of Studies assists students through their ideas, and encourages students to research and learn to their full potential.

Please submit your completed opportunity fund application to the Dean of Studies Office. If you have any questions, please contact Pat Choukeir or call the Dean of Studies Office at 518-580-5720.
