To keep its members informed of important graduate-student-related events and developments, the GSA produces a magazine, which is also intended to serve as a forum for graduate students to express their views and opinions on important themes. The Gradzette is free to all graduate students and is currently published four times per year. If you wish to contribute to the Gradzette, please contact the GSA office.

 

BURSARIES AND AWARDS

The Graduate Students' Association operates a scholarship fund, which disburses awards to students demonstrating financial need and academic promise. The fund is administered through the U of M's Financial Aid and Awards office.

The GSA also administers the Innovation, Stewardship, and Excellence (ISE) awards; also more commonly know as the GSA Awards. These are one-time awards available to support students without external funding and who have demonstrated excellence in many areas of student life, innovation in their research, and a strong commitment to their community. Applications and award guidelines will be available online in the winter on the GSA website, the GSA office, the Faculty of Graduate Studies, and through departmental administrative assistants.
