The School of Humanities and Sciences awards Graduate Research Opportunity (GRO) funding to PhD and DMA students in the humanities, arts, and social sciences to support research for their dissertation. This funding is incremental and does not replace other funding that the student may receive to support their dissertation research.Thanks to a gift from a generous donor, GRO funds are also available to students pursuing dissertation research related to modern British history and culture (GRO-MBHC).
Funding is competitive and not all proposals will be funded. The maximum GRO or GRO-MBHC award is $6,000. Applicants are encouraged to apply for other sources of funding, but may not accept multiple sources of funding to cover the same expenses.
Eligibility
- Stanford doctoral (PhD and DMA) students in the humanities, arts, and social sciences
- Have active candidacy and are making satisfactory academic progress
- Have an approved dissertation research project
- Will be enrolled in the quarter during which the award will be issued
