Conference Support
Conducting a successful job search frequently requires an outlay of funds that most PhD students do not anticipate. In addition to the annual stipend, Olin provides funding for the presentation of papers at conferences, and for expenses associated with the completion of your thesis and job search. However, you may wish to seek additional resources such as external grants and fellowships, loans, savings, or family support to supplement the funding provided by the Olin School.
