Pitt GPSA

GPSA is the governing body for all graduate and professional students at the University of Pittsburgh. GPSA administers half of the graduate student activity fee to provide programming and services to all graduate and professional students, including a popular travel grant program for attending and presenting at conferences, free legal services, and supplemental funds for graduate student organizations. The social programming that GPSA provides throughout the year includes networking, cultural, and local sporting events. Most importantly, GPSA connects graduate students to Pitt's administrators through graduate student representation on many University committees. These representatives advocate and make recommendations regarding students to the Office of the Provost, University Senate, Board of Trustees and other university-wide committees. GPSA represents the concerns of all graduate and professional students, so please contact us if you have an issue we can help with. Graduate and professional students can get involved with the GPSA by attending our monthly assembly meetings or visiting our office in William Pitt Union. To get communications, updates, and event invites directly from GPSA students can follow us on facebook, twitter, or sign up for our email list by emailing pittgpsa@gmail.com.

Examples of programs and services we provide include the following:

Annual funding for each of the individual graduate and professional student governments (in addition to additional fund for which any student groups may apply)
$100-$200 travel grants to students presenting at or attending conferences. (See the Travel Grant section)
Free legal services
Sponsorship of additional activities ranging from social functions to academic workshops.
Representation on university committees, such as Provost's Advisory Committees, University Senate Standing Committees, and many more.
