TAPS UNDERGRADUATE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT GRANTS

TAPS is pleased to announce a new professional development grant program to assist TAPS undergraduate Majors and Minors. Funding is limited to one-time proposals and will reimburse up to $500 for students to attend/travel to workshops, conferences, or other professional development opportunities.

The TAPS Undergraduate Professional Development Grant program is funded by Stanford Arts and the Department of Theater and Performance Studies.

THE POLICY

  • Declared TAPS students may use the Professional Development Grant for programs/ events that are integral to their academic degree or post-Stanford career opportunities, as approved by a TAPS faculty member.
  • Students may apply for funding once per year. Funding is limited to reimbursements up to $500. Priority will be based on academic seniority (i.e. seniors will have highest priority).
  • Funding can cover registration fees, travel, accommodations, meals; funds cannot be used for expenses related to Stanford courses, such as Capstones.
  • Students will be responsible for covering all arrangements and will submit receipts for reimbursement.
  • Event participation must be completed by August 31, 2025.
