Newhall Awards for Doctoral Student Teaching or Research

Posted on February 7, 2017 by gtuscholarships

Deadline:  November 13

Newhall Awards are competitive awards for GTU doctoral students engaged in collaborative teaching or research with GTU Core Doctoral Faculty mentors in the belief that such collaborative work would contribute to the professional development of the students and the mission of the GTU. Awards are given for fall, spring or both semesters, but the application process takes place only in the Fall. Generally, awards are at least $3000 per semester. The design of the project should require the student to spend only about 5 – 10 hours per week. Newhall awards offer a wonderful opportunity to work closely with professors whose interests and approaches parallel the student’s on projects that often would not be possible under other circumstances. The Newhall applications must come from both the student and the professor for a project involving both of them. The awards are designed to support both students (through grants) and faculty (through offering assistance to their research and teaching).
