Travel & Research Support

The English Department offers travel support for students presenting at professional conferences, conducting archival or other special research, and attending the MLA conference for academic job interviews. For this support, you must apply through the English Department as well as to ARHU. Make sure to start your application in enough time to meet deadlines for both, as they have different deadlines. For more information, see here.

The Center of Literary and Comparative Studies (CLCS) sends frequent emails with current grant and fellowship opportunities. To be added to the listserv, contact Karen L. Nelson (knelson@umd.edu).

Other Financial Support

UMD also provides tax resources such as Graduate School's Tax Assistance Program (TAP), especially for international students. 

The Teaching and Learning Transformation Center (TLTC) also runs several events each semester, including speakers, a brown bag lunch discussion series, workshops, webinars, and more.  

There are a number of TLTC pedagogy books on the bookshelf in the Graduate Lounge that are free for anyone to use in planning or to scan content for posting on ELMS. There is also a printer in the Graduate Lounge that is free to use.

See the new Off-Campus Housing page, with links to apartment finders and roommate finders. 

If you have moved to Maryland, follow the directions on this page to apply for a reclassification of your residency.  You need to complete this process before the first day of the semester in which you wish in-state residency to apply.
