Human Ecology Scholarships/Fellowships

Dr. Harvye F. Lewis Endowed Graduate Student Travel Fund
The Dr. Harvye F. Lewis Endowed Graduate Student Travel Fund is
for Human Ecology graduate students applying for funds to travel
to professional meetings. To be eligible, students must be presenting
research, accepting an award, providing service to a professional
society, or other appropriate professional activities and be enrolled
at least 6 credit hours. Funding for graduate students will be
awarded at the beginning of the Fall, Spring and Summer semesters
each year. Available funds will be divided among eligible graduate
students. The maximum for an individual travel award is $300. Ordinarily,
an individual graduate student may receive only one Harvye F. Lewis
award per year. A copy of the application can be opened by clicking
here. Appropriate LSU travel forms must be completed, including
Permission to Travel prior to departure.

Graduate Research and Development Support (GRADS) Funding
The GRADS funding program provides travel grants (transportation)
to full-time graduate students for support of graduate activities.
Currently enrolled graduate students may receive these funds for:
a) Conference participation: for students presenting papers, giving
seminars, and/or serving as panelists.
b) Research trips: for students to do essential fieldwork, to
utilize scientific equipment unavailable at LSU, to use unique
library holdings, or to interview individuals important to particular
projects. In this category strong preference would be given to
students working on dissertations.
To be eligible for GRADS funds, students must be enrolled full-time
and be in good academic standing. These awards are made on a competitive
basis. Application forms may be obtained from Room 131, David Boyd
Hall. The completed form, along with a written recommendation from
the students' major professor and an endorsement from the Director
of the School, should be sent to the Dean of the Graduate School.
Because funds generally are committed early in the academic year,
needs should be anticipated and requested as soon as possible.
External Funding Sources
There are many reference sources that identify fellowships, grants,
and other programs providing support to graduate students. The LSU
Graduate School has published a guide to these sources and many of
them are available at the LSU Library.
A listing of possible funding sources can be seen here.
This list is not exhaustive, but is included to give graduate students
in Human Ecology an idea of various sources that can provide financial
support. It is suggested that students consult with their major professors
and investigate professional organizations in their area of study
as well as private foundations.
