Graduate students are encouraged to apply to all of the awards they are eligible for. Metz Fund for Students’ Professional Expenses: The purpose of the Metz Fund is to provide modest financial support to graduate students in the Department of Educational Policy Studies for expenses (up to $1000) that will help them develop as scholars and enable them to do research. These funds may be used for traditional professional expenses related to students’ development as scholars – such as computer software, transcribers or translators, and attending professional conferences. In recognition of Professor Metz’s encouragement for students to work out their interrelated lives as scholars, researchers, and as family members, funds may also be used for expenses necessary to free students’ time from family responsibilities for study and scholarship, such as child/elder care expenses. Please note that within the award criteria mentioned above, students with need support for family responsibilities in order to free them for study and scholarship will receive first consideration. Application materials: answers to brief questions in the application, a CV, a 1-2 page document detailing financial request, an itemized budget. Andreas Kazamias Award: Dr"
