Internal Dissertation Grants Awarded to Advance Doctoral Candidates Across the Finish Line
By Jeremy Craig, Communications Manager for the Office of the Provost
The Office of the Vice President for Research and Economic Development in conjunction with The Graduate School have recently named the newest recipients of the university’s internal dissertation grants.
Sponsored by those units, the grants invest in full-time doctoral students by assisting them to meet the costs of completing their dissertations.
A list of winners is located below. In addition to these awards, applicants for the internal dissertation grant may also apply for a Suttles Fellowship, an award given in memory of President Emeritus William M. Suttles, who served Georgia State for over 40 years. This year’s winners of the Suttles Fellowship are Virginia Carr and Becky Flores.
