Spring 2013
This term, GSEF received ten project applications. Seven projects were eventually rejected by the PRC. Generally, the rejection was due to lack of detailed or planned budget, sustainability concerns and limited number of graduate students benefiting from the projects, and, in some cases, the lack of focus on graduate students or relying on GSEF mainly for frequent funding.
