Student travel benefit
 
 
The Office for Undergraduate Research administers the funding for student participation at professional and scholarly meetings. Applications for funding may be submitted at any time. As funds each year are limited, students and faculty are reminded that not all expenses can be covered. Students should be encouraged to submit requests early, and all requests will require an adviser's signature. Funding will be distributed on a first-come first-served basis.

Student Application Form

Applications should be directed to Karen Parthemore. In preparing applications, students should observe the following guidelines:

  • Funding is granted only to students who will be presenting research at a conference or professional meeting.
  • Applications should include a clear description of the project and the student's role at the conference.
  • Applications should include a detailed and itemized list of expenses; where exact figures are not available, provide a resonable estimate.
  • Funds are available for travel to and from the conference site, conference registration fees, and lodging (room and taxes only). The cost of meals will not be covered.
  • A maximum of $450 will be granted per student. Students are urged to find the most economical arrangements for their travel.

Please direct any questions to Karen Parthemore.
