Graduate Student Research Award

The CEE Graduate Student Research Award seeks to support graduate student research that contributes to and extends CEE’s efforts to examine important issues in English education.

The award provides a maximum of $2,500 to support a specific research project conducted by a graduate student; in addition, $500 is provided to support travel to the NCTE Convention to present that research. Graduate students at the master’s and doctoral level are eligible; all applicants must be members of CEE.
