Travel Award

The Graduate Student Senate in cooperation with the Dean of Students and the Dean of Graduate Studies awards funding for graduate and professional students to travel, present work, and participate at scholarly conferences and events. Three travel award announcements are made throughout the year, designed to roughly coincide with the academic term periods. These awards are based on merit and are given to provide partial reimbursement of certain allowable expenses such as transportation, lodging and registration expenses. Applications are considered by a committee composed of graduate students, faculty members, and university administrators.

Applications must be submitted to and received by the Office of the Dean of Students by the deadlines that will be announced in the GradNews emails and on this webpage.

Only applications submitted using the official form below will be considered for awards. Handwritten applications will be rejected.
