We’re excited to announce a new graduate student grant opportunity: the CMCS COVID-19 Relief Dissertation Writing Grants.

Please note changes to several existing grant categories for 2020-21, including restrictions on travel funding (per UD guidelines) for both graduate student and undergraduate grants (such as the Finkel Fund in Support of Cultural Internships). Regrettably, CMCS is unable to support grants for faculty subventions and field trips this academic year. We hope to be able to offer these opportunities again in 2021-22.
