PhD Works Awards for Career Exploration (ACE)
PhD Works Awards for Career Exploration (ACE) is a program that supports the career exploration and professional development of Stony Brook University's graduate students and prepare them for careers beyond the traditional expectations of their program or beyond academic research.
PhD Works ACE - 2024-2025
Eligible Activity Dates: July 1, 2024 to June 1, 2025
PhD Works Awards for Career Exploration (ACE) offers up to $625 to support meaningful career exploration activities focused on preparation for the professional workforce outside the standard academic research track and the traditional expectations of the applicant's graduate program.
Both PhD and master’s students are strongly encouraged to apply for PhD Works ACE. We particularly welcome applications from students whose professional development activities contribute to broadening the workforce in their fields. Students should have engaged in career exploration activities held between July 1, 2024 to June 1, 2025 for which they have documented expenses that have not been reimbursed by any other funding source.
Activities that directly support students' thesis/dissertation research and related activities (such as conference registration or travel to present research or thesis/dissertation topics) are NOT eligible for this award.
