NATIONALITY ROOMS - GRADUATE SUMMER STUDY ABROAD SCHOLARSHIPS

The Nationality Rooms have awarded annual scholarships for summer study abroad to all parts of the world since 1948. The purpose of the awards is to give Pitt students the opportunity to experience in-depth immersion in another culture. Applicants may apply for up to two scholarships, but can only receive one award. We welcome students of all majors and courses of study. Furthermore, you may register your credit earned in the summer for the subsequent fall semester.

DOCTORAL AND POSTDOCTORAL CAREER DEVELOPMENT

The Center of Doctoral and Postdoctoral Career Development (DPCD) aims to enhance the lifelong professional development of doctoral and postdoctoral trainees at the University of Pittsburgh. Academic centers continue to serve as the primary source of career support for graduate students; however, this center has been established to leverage institutional resources to meet the career development needs of doctoral and postdoctoral trainees across all schools.

OFFICE OF INTERNATIONAL SERVICES

OIS, as it is commonly known, is the University’s immigration specialist, serves all campuses and the 4500 international students, scholars, staff, and faculty that call Pitt their academic home.

GPSG TRAVEL GRANTS

The GPSG Travel Grant program was established to provide financial assistance and recognition to graduate and professional students who have participated in academic conferences. Students may apply for a GPSG Travel Grant once per fiscal year. All applications must be submitted to GPSG and are approved by the Finance Committee. Students must have presented at the conference and currently be enrolled as a graduate or professional student at the University of Pittsburgh. Applications will not be accepted for students who only attended.
