Graduate Student Assistantships
Through the School of Arts and Humanities, a number of Research Assistants work in the Center for Translation Studies. These students participate in the planning and execution of daily and long-term Center research projects. In this way, they gain first-hand knowledge of resources for translation research, have practical acquaintance with current ideas in Translation Studies, and begin to build connections with scholars and literary translators.

Graduate students in Translation Studies may also work as Teaching Assistants in the Humanities. All are invited to apply for financial assistance through the School of Arts and Humanities and The University of Texas at Dallas Financial Aid Office.

Translation Studies Supplemental Travel Grants
The Center for Translation Studies awards grants to graduate students giving professional presentations on topics within Translation Studies. These should be used to supplement grants the student has received from the School of Arts and Humanities for conference travel. To apply, the student sends a copy of the School of Arts and Humanities application for travel funds to the Center administrative assistant. Once A&H writes the award letter, the Center will determine whether to award a supplemental grant. Students are reimbursed using the same form filed with A&H; no additional paperwork is necessary.

For the year 2006 - 2007, the Center will award two grants of up to $250 each.
