On BDE's advice, I am going to try for the Provost's Award at UIC. This is a grant-like application process, which awards up to $2K sans matching funds or $3K if you can get your department or advisor to kick in $500. They expect, but do not require, PhD students to have advanced past the qualifier, so this will hurt my chances until that hurdle is passed. Still, I think it is worth a shot. The more times I try, the more chances of success.
This is offered twice a year, with deadlines in mid March and mid October.
