Best Research Paper Award

To encourage publications by the doctoral students, we have established a John O.Tollefson Best Paper Award. Each year, the School of Business accepts paper submissions that must have been published or accepted in a refereed journal or refereed conference proceeding during the previous calendar year. Papers presented after a rigorous selection process may also be submitted for consideration. The recipient of this award receives a $500 scholarship.

Travel Funding

The first/second-year students could receive up to $900 to attend a conference in their field. Most students receive funding to present papers at conferences.
