During intersession a RAP application can only be considered valid if a proof of registration for the incoming semester is attached.

RAP (Research Access Project)

The aim of the program is to aid in the professional development of graduate students by providing financial assistance in the form of travel grants. Specifically, RAP provides funds for graduate students to travel to conferences or performances in order to present professional work related to their particular academic disciplines. Note that the Internal Control Program of the GSO stipulates that RAP funds are directly tied to a department senator’s attendance at GSO Senate meetings, and only students from active departments can receive RAP funding. A department is considered inactive if the senator representing it has not been present at two out of the last three senate meetings. In the case that a department is inactive, all applications for RAP funding from this department are put on hold until the status of the department becomes active. Students are eligible to receive a maximum of $350 per fiscal year.
