IUB-Student Assistance Fund in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences

The Student Assistance Fund provides financial support to undergraduate or graduate students majoring in Speech, Language and Hearing Sciences who are seeking assistance with scholarly or educational expenses. Eligible expenses may include, but are not limited to, conference attendance, professional or program-related travel, research expenses, textbooks, technology, and other academic needs.

Priority consideration is given to sophomores and juniors. Students planning to graduate during the current academic year and students with freshman standing are not eligible for this award.

To be eligible, applicants must be actively engaged in a scholarly or research-related activity through one of the following pathways:

• Enrollment in the SLHS Honors Program or completion of an MA thesis project; or
• Enrollment in SLHS-X 498 and participation in a faculty-led research laboratory.

Students who are not currently participating in an honors program or thesis project must be enrolled in SLHS-X 498 and demonstrate that their proposed activity will result in a tangible scholarly outcome within six months, such as a poster presentation, research paper, publication, thesis, or other academic product.
