Graduate Student Research

Research is an integral part of any graduate education. With their combination of energy, curiosity, and ambition, graduate students focus upon small details, ask probing questions, and pursue new innovations. Donors can create endowments to support graduate research at Penn State with travel funds, thesis grants, and awards.

Research endowments have the potential to yield tangible benefits beyond the University and are particularly vital in nurturing the work of junior faculty--researches who may hold special promise and vision, but may face difficulty in acquiring funds from conventional sources.
