Graduate Calendar

Interested in learning more about external funding opportunities for graduate students to study or conduct research outside of their home country? Attend this special International Education Week event, which will involve three different sessions, tailored to specific audiences and purposes: Funding for Study and Research Abroad, Funding for Students Studying in the United States, and a panel of TXST External Funding Recipients. Registrants may attend any or all of the following 30-minute sessions:

10:00am - Funding for Study and Research Abroad
This session will provide a brief overview of some of the external funding opportunities available to help graduate students study foreign languages, teach English, and conduct research abroad. Although most of these opportunities are limited to U.S. citizens, we will also share strategies used by international students to pursue funded activities outside of the United States.

10:30am - Funding for Students Studying in the United States
This session will provide information about the approaches and tools used by international students to find external funding opportunities for which they are eligible. During this session, attendees will discover how to customize their funding searches, as well as learn about TXST international students who have received external awards.

11:00am - Panel of TXST External Funding Recipients
This event will conclude with a panel discussion about the successful strategies that TXST awardees have deployed in their own planning, searching, and application processes. Join us to hear from these external funding recipients about their experiences and advice in seeking international education!
