Travel Grants

Application Procedure

First Author/First Presenter usually signifies the person who most contributed to the text/ presentation. The first author/first presenter is listed first when multiple authors/presenters are credited with a project/text. For presenting grants with a maximum reimbursement of $300, students must submit a completed application form and photocopy of original conference acceptance letter naming them as first author/first presenter to GSC (Graduate School, Room 411-Admin Bldg) by the due date. Students receiving funding from their departments should use one expense voucher with the account number and amount to be charged from the dept. Completed expense vouchers need to be submitted with original receipts attached.
Attending grants with a maximum reimbursement of $150 do not require conference presentation or acceptance, but do require an advisor's signature.
