Postgraduate Student Support Program
Research plans and scientific publishing

introduction

Graduate students represent the main human resource for scientific research in universities, and financial support for research plans and published scientific papers for students is considered one of the basic requirements for this stage. The Deanship of Scientific Research noted that the method currently used in supporting graduate students and researchers through research centers needs to be developed and improved to remove one of the most important difficulties they face, which may lead to their reluctance and delay in their research achievements due to the large number of steps and the slow completion of procedures.

the program

The Deanship of Scientific Research proposes this program to simplify the process of applying for support directly to it, decide on those requests as quickly as possible, and complete disbursement procedures through the Deanship without returning or committing to apply to research centers in colleges, which speeds up the process of obtaining support for graduate students at the beginning of their research and motivates them to Scientific publishing in high-quality publishing outlets.

Objectives

Reducing and simplifying procedures for supporting students and researchers.

Reducing the burdens of administrative research centers and giving them the opportunity to play their role in supporting researchers and students scientifically.

Helping to accelerate the research process for postgraduate students and their completion of the study within the specified period.

Exploiting financial resources fairly to support all graduate students at the university without relying on the performance of research centers.

Motivating students to publish scientifically in high-quality scientific journals.

Supporting postgraduate students’ dissertation projects

The Deanship of Scientific Research supports the dissertations of male and female graduate students in all specializations after the research plan is approved by the Deanship of Graduate Studies and they are submitted directly.

Application conditions and procedures

1- The applicant is obligated to write the full name as it appears on the national ID for Saudis and the residence permit for non-Saudis.

2- Attach a statement with the approval of the Deanship of Graduate Studies.
3- Application must be based on the Deanship of Scientific Research forms.
4- Application for support must be made within a maximum of two years from the approval of the Deanship of Graduate Studies.
5- The support is not disbursed after discussing the thesis.

Forms must be sent to HGDSR@ksu.edu.sa

Budget controls

1- The student submits a detailed budget that includes the costs of spending on research, including materials and supplies, taking into account that the deanship does not support the following items:

• Purchasing electronic devices that the university provides to students, such as computers and printers.
• Purchasing computer programs available at the university.
• Transportation expenses inside and outside the city where the student is located.
• Buy books and scientific references.
• Print the Letter.
• statistical analysis.
• Linguistic checking and translation.

2- Applications are presented to the Financial Committee of the Deanship of Scientific Research, which decides the appropriate financial support for the student’s research plan

3- The student is committed to paying financial support in accordance with the controls of the unified regulations for scientific research.

4- The student is obligated to attach payment invoices approved by the thesis supervisor.

5- The student is obligated to write thanks to the Deanship of Scientific Research in the scientific thesis and the published papers extracted from it.

6- The student submits a form pledging the university’s ownership of the thesis and with the approval of the supervisors to arrange the placement of names on the published scientific papers and those extracted from them.

7- Master’s student will be given support for the research plan, not exceeding five thousand riyals (5,000).

8- PHD student will be given support for the research plan, not exceeding ten thousand riyals (10,000).
