VIGRE Graduate Program

Traineeships

US citizens and permanent residents are eligible for VIGRE Graduate Traineeships. Support includes full tuition and fees, a stipend to cover living expenses, and funds to attend summer research conferences. Graduate students are supported entirely by a fellowship during the first year and by a mix of teaching and research funding thereafter. All eligible applicants for admission will be automatically considered for VIGRE support, so there is no need to apply specially. Here is a link to the Graduate Application.

VIGRE Activities

Graduate students take part in many VIGRE activities.

Travel Support

A feature of the VIGRE graduate traineeship program is to provide travel funds for VIGRE graduate students to attend professional meetings that are relevant to their areas of research.
