RE:     Summer 2008 Graduate Supplemental Retention Program


The Graduate School is requesting your assistance in announcing the Summer
Graduate Supplemental Retention Program.   

The Supplemental Retention Program (SRP) offers limited tuition assistance
for UF students who have completed at least one year of a PhD or MFA
program, no more than three semesters to completion, and are no longer
eligible to receive a fellowship, assistantship, or other
college/departmental funding. Applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent
residents. The funding is designed to assist students with the completion of
their degree programs by providing limited tuition assistance and by
involving them in retention activities organized by the Graduate School.
Information and applications are available in the Graduate School, Room 115
Grinter Hall, or on our website at http://gradschool.rgp.ufl.edu/ogmp.asp.

matter.
