Kriloff Funding Announcement

In order to better serve the graduate student community, a major change has taken place with regard to the Max and Peggy Kriloff Student Travel Scholarship.

This year, the decision has been made to award a portion of the funds to applicants in both the fall and spring semesters.  As many of you know, in the past, applications for this source of travel funding would be accepted at the very start of the fall semester, meaning all of the funds from the endowment would be distributed almost immediately.

Since endowment distributions have changed to a semester basis and many departments have complained

that students who present in March-May often do not have access to Krilloff funds, this year a change in the timing

of awarding Krilloff Award funds will be made.   

Once the necessary application criteria are met, money will be awarded for students presenting only in Fall 2011, 

until the current fall 2011 endowment allocation runs out. 

Our office will begin accepting applications in January 2012 for students presenting in Spring 2012. 

Again the awards will be made only until the spring allocation funds are expended.
