PDS Calendar
Please coordinate any external deadlines with the PDS deadlines and pay close attention to the deadline dates and notification dates when preparing your application. Students are not required to already be accepted into conferences, training activities, or research archives before applying, so students should apply as early as possible. Applicants may always decline the PDS funds after they are approved.
The deadlines and date below pertain to the 2024-25 academic year. The PDS application portal is slated to start receiving applications starting September 1, 2024. Prior to this date, students may not be able to submit applications. After the last deadline below has passed, the PDS system will re-open the following academic year.
