GRADvocate Scholarship: Grad Student Emergency Fund

The experiential and professional graduate training programs at CSUMB require a substantial commitment from their dedicated students. In addition to coursework, most students are highly engaged in research in the field, professional practice throughout our community, and classroom teaching. These experiences will lead to their professional success in the future, but they can also make it challenging and even impossible at times for students to work outside of school to support themselves financially. Your gift will support these hard-working students and allow them to fully focus on their educational goals so that they can more quickly enter into their career positions or doctoral programs.
