Travel support is limited to a maximum of $400 per student each semester. Receipts are required for any reimbursed charges after travel. Priority consideration will be given to applicants who are presenting research.
Students must be registered during the semester the funds are to be used. Some awards may be subject to full-time registration, which is 9-hours in the long semesters (fall/spring) and 3-hours in the summer semester.
Applications will be due February 1st for Spring travel and September 15th for Fall travel.
To be considered for travel support you must:
1) Fill out the Student_Travel_Request_Cover Letter and obtain the collaborating faculty signature on this form prior to it being uploaded. A faculty signature is not required if you are not presenting with a faculty member.
*If you are unable to secure a faculty signature given the challenges of the pandemic, please upload a written/ typed acknowledgement and/or email from the faculty member, confirming the presentation with them along with the cover letter.
2) In addition to the cover letter, you will need to upload your conference Notice of Acceptance. This form is provided by the conference organizers and states that you are accepted to present. A file upload portal for this submission will be in the application itself for this step.
* One Notice of Acceptance and one Student Travel Request Cover Letter must be included with this application for each session that is listed. For example, if you are doing two session presentations, even if it is in the same conference, you must upload a Notice of Acceptance and Student Travel Request Cover Letter for each session presentation.
3) The Notice of Acceptance and Student Travel Request Cover Letter must be submitted in a single file. For example, the file must include the Student Travel Request Cover Letter in the front, then the Notice of Acceptance.
*File naming convention should be: StudentLastName_StudentFirstName_Notice_Of_Acceptance_ConferenceName
4) Fill out the Student Travel Award Support Request Application, and upload the file you created in the first step.
*Request must be submitted electronically
