The Gallatin Graduate Thesis Support Fund (TSF) was created in order to help support the costs associated with the development of a non-performance based thesis at Gallatin.
For support for performance theses, please see the Siff Grant application process.
Please note: Masters students may apply to EITHER the Gallatin Thesis Support Fund OR the Siff Performance Thesis grant program, but not to both.
Applicants must be current M.A. students in the Gallatin School, with an approved thesis proposal. A TSF grant may be used to support the purchase of necessary equipment, travel, or any other reasonable and justified expenses required to complete the thesis. TSF grant funds may not be used to cover expenses incurred prior to the receipt of the award.
All applications require a project proposal and a proposed budget. The entire proposal must be submitted using this form. Applications are reviewed by a faculty committee. Awards range from $500 to $1,500. Awards range from $500 to $1500 and will be dispersed directly to the awardee. Please be advised that this award is taxable income under U.S. tax law.
Grants may be used in the fall or spring semesters. Students are required to submit a report detailing how the funds awarded were used to support the production of the thesis. Questions? Email gallatin.ma@nyu.edu
If deadline dates fall on a weekend, then the application is due on the Monday following that weekend.
