The University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa Graduate Student Organization (GSO) offers a Grants and Awards Program (G & A). The Graduate Student Organization (GSO) represents the academic interests of over 5,000 graduate students attending UH Mānoa, the flagship campus of the UH System. Starting in 1975 the Grants and Awards fund was created to aid graduate students with presenting original scholarly, scientific or literary works at academic or professional conferences or workshops. In 2004, this was expanded to include funding of research materials and travel.
