The Department of Educational Administration wants to encourage students to present papers at scholarly and professional conferences. Thus, students who have had papers accepted at conferences, or who have been nominated and selected for special Graduate Student Seminars which some of the associations hold, are eligible to apply for financial support for travel and conference related expenses. 

To apply, download and complete the EAD Graduate Student Conference Support Application form.

Listed below is a representation of the current student scholarly work supported by the department during the 2010-2011 academic year.
