Doctoral students at the University of Chicago received an email today from Deborah Nelson, providing a link to the application form for the need-based child care stipends announced last quarter (see here).
"The application for spring quarter stipends is now available on the Graduate Education website’s Grad Community page, under Resources for Student Parents. You can access the application directly here."
Nowhere on the application form itself or in the accompanying information is any mention made of the projected size of the awards, other than that it is not forecast that these will cover "the bulk" of childcare related expenses. So, we will just have to apply to find out how much the University has decided to allocate to graduate student parents - go!
