Funding Opportunities

Student PSTC affiliation supports graduate education in numerous ways, including effective mentorship by leading faculty in the field and access to state-of-the-art facilities in Mencoff Hall. Students may also submit proposals to the PSTC for funds to conduct exploratory research, fieldwork, and purchase data.

Many PSTC-affiliated grad students are awarded fellowships that cover tuition and stipend.

Conferences

The PSTC also provides funding for qualified students to attend professional conferences, including the Population Association of America (PAA) annual meeting.
