Graduate student child care scholarship

Pursuing a graduate degree is demanding, raising children is expensive, but students should not have to put their personal lives on hold while earning their degree. The Graduate Student Child Care Scholarship serves to relieve some of the financial burden of child care expenses, facilitating degree progress of graduate students who are raising families. When our Graduate School alumni reflect on their student experience, we want them to remember this time of their life not only as time for building careers, but a time when they built happy lives.
