Statement (250-500 words) that describes how the funds will be used to support research and professional development and how it will make a difference in the recipient’s development in an academic or non-academic career area. Funds may be expended at the recipient’s discretion. They are not a replacement for a GRA/GTA stipend, but may be used to support the recipient’s dissertation, e.g. costs associated with doing research off-campus or at another institution. Although a formal budget is not required, a general idea of how the recipient plans to spend the funds should be included in the statement, including estimated costs for each component of the award statement.113-119 Eisenhower Hall, Manhattan, KS 66506-1103 | (785) 532-6191 | 1-800-651-1816 | fax: (785) 532-2983
