Grants have been awarded for Summer and Fall 2024. Please check back in early Spring 2025 for the next award season.
The Felice M. Grad Endowed Scholarship Fund was established in April 2016 by the Board of Trustees of The Ohio State University, with a gift from the estate of Felice Marcus Grad (BA 1946, BS 1946, MA 1947). The fund’s purpose is to support off-campus study and/or research for graduate students in AAAS, Classics, DEALL, FRIT, GLL, NESA, SEELC, and SPPO at any stage of their graduate program. Types of off-campus research and study for which students may apply for funds include but are not limited to:
- library or archival work
- interviews with subjects
- conference presentations
- language immersion programs
- NEH or other summer seminars
- the Big Ten Academic Alliance Traveling Scholar program
- professionalization workshops
The scholarship committee solicits applications for awards between $500 and $1000 dollars depending on demonstrated need. Applicants should submit the following materials:
- a cv
- a 1-2 page letter describing the project
- a budget that includes travel, room and board, registration fees, tuition, cost of rent in Columbus while away, and any other costs that the project entails
- a list of other scholarships for which they are also applying (from their department, Arts and Humanities, the Graduate School, the Alumni Association, etc. Indicate the amounts of these scholarships and if they have been secured or are pending)
- a brief letter of support from their advisor
This scholarship is offered each spring semester, with award season details announced in January. Please submit all application materials to Rebecca Bias in the Center for Languages, Literatures and Cultures.
These OIA Guidelines may apply to Register Other Travel. Please review in advance.
Note: Applicants may apply for multiple grants (through the CLLC website) for the same research project/program/conference. However, please note that if an applicant receives a grant (with the earlier deadline), the second award will be given to the same applicant only if funds are available after the award decisions have been made, and provided the applicant has not exceeded their requested budget with all funding sources.
