University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa

Graduate Student Organization (GSO)

Grants and Awards Program

The Graduate Student Organization (GSO) represents the academic interests of over 5,000 graduate students attending UH Mānoa, the flagship campus of the UH System. Starting in 1975 the Grants and Awards fund was created to aid graduate students with presenting original scholarly, scientific or literary works at academic or professional conferences or workshops. In 2004, this was expanded to include funding of research materials and travel.

 

The awarding of this grant is decided by vote of graduate peers on a monthly basis during the Fall and Spring semesters. GSO offers graduate students up to $2000 for international activities and $1000 for domestic activities. There are approximately 10-15 awards per month between $250-$2000. Applications are due two weeks before each monthly meeting. Meeting dates can be found at http://gso.hawaii.edu. Once the application has been reviewed by the Graduate Assembly you will receive an email response with the review committee's decision within 14 days.
