Students in the SLAT Ph.D. program are eligible to apply for funding towards their dissertation research and data collection, and for funding towards travel for professional/academic conferences or professional development reasons. Please read below for more information about these two types of travel and research funding awards that SLAT offers.
The SLAT program has also gathered information on different summer funding opportunities and external (non-UA) fellowship and scholarship opportunities. More details on these opportunities can be found below.
Student research is vital to the SLAT program and to the academics of the SLAT graduate students. To the extent possible, and when funding is available, SLAT can help provide partial support for SLAT major student research. Funding for SLAT student research is provided through generous contributions by SLAT Emerita Faculty member, Dr. Linda Waugh, and supplemented from SLAT’s funds when available. SLAT deeply thanks Dr. Waugh for her continuous support of SLAT students and their research.
Awards will be made to SLAT major students based upon the following criteria:
- IRB approval
- Academic standing in the program
- Appropriate Progress to Degree, as outlined in the SLAT Student Handbook.
Funds may be used for the following types of research costs: individual software, subject compensation, printing costs, supplies such as workbooks, transcription costs when provided by an approved UA vendor, video or audio recorders for the sole purpose of data collection, or travel abroad when the goal is collection of research data. IRB approval is not a requirement to apply or receive an award. However, if you do not have IRB approval or do not need IRB approval for your research project, please provide those details in your application.
Calls for award applications will be sent out via email twice a year by the SLAT Program Coordinator, in October and March each year. For the October call, the deadline to apply will be in November and awards will be disbursed in December. For the March call, the deadline to apply will be in April and awards will be disbursed in early May.
If you do need a video or audio recorder and you don’t want to purchase one, these items may be able to be checked out from the Main Library, through UA’s Gear to Go, or through the College of Humanities Computing Services Equipment Library.
No awards will be made for supplemental compensation through the UA payroll system. All awards will be made as fellowship stipends and processed in the student’s bursar account.
Please contact the SLAT administrative offices at GIDP-SLAT@email.arizona.edu for more information and with any questions that you may have.
Many SLAT students travel to conferences throughout the year. SLAT major and minor students may apply for departmental funding for travel to conferences or other professional development opportunities. Travel funds are awarded competitively, and applications for students who will be presenting their research or participating in job interviews at the event will be prioritized.
Students must apply to at least one other funding source to be eligible for SLAT travel funding. Travel costs are high, and SLAT funding cannot fully pay for all travel expenses. SLAT only requires proof of applying to another source of funding; it is not required that an additional source of funding be awarded to the student. Students are still eligible for SLAT Travel Award funding if they are denied funding from other sources.
Students may apply for travel funding more than once per academic year. Please note, though, that students who receive funding and later apply for another round of the award in the same academic year will not be prioritized.
SLAT Travel Awards will be disbursed after the travel for the conference or professional development opportunity has concluded, and receipts and proof of conference attendance have been submitted to the SLAT Office.
For details and additional information regarding applying for the SLAT Travel Award, click here.
