SA R33 - Winter/Summer Term Financial Aid

Dear President Pollack, It is my pleasure to convey GPSA Resolution 15: Requesting a full, transparent, and ongoing accounting of the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the funding of continuing graduate students. The COVID-19 pandemic, through delays of in-person research, reduced availability of grants, and possible delays in students’ graduation, will put additional pressure on all existing sources of funding.
