This is a major milestone for UNF and the Brooks College of Health.

COEHS Graduate Student Wins Presidential Award for Outstanding Teaching in Math & Science

Funding Opportunity: Graduate Scholars

The Graduate School is pleased to announce a new funding opportunity for graduate students, the Graduate Scholars program, a funding program in support of graduate student’s scholarly projects.

The Graduate School will offer ten grants – five in the fall, five in the spring – to graduate students pursuing individual scholarly projects. Projects may be funded up to $500. The Graduate Council will make awards on the criteria that the funds advance the student’s scholarly work. For example, a student may need funds to present a paper at a conference, travel to a research site, or collect data for an experiment.
