Graduate Student Travel to Professional Meetings and Conferences

The Department strives to fund graduate student travel to present papers, when funds are available, as it is an important part of graduate education. The Department has a history of supporting graduate student travel to meetings and encourages paper submissions.

Financial support for travel to professional meetings is provided for students who have papers or posters accepted for presentation. All travel is ultimately approved by the Graduate Program Director and Department Chair.

Financial support is limited, and students should follow the guidelines below:

• Only matriculated graduate students (i.e., enrolled in an on-campus graduate degree program for credits or Program Fee/Continuous Enrollment) are eligible.
• The submission to a conference needs to be discussed and approved by their research advisor. We encourage students to present at conferences with the greatest impact whenever possible.
• Follow the submission procedures for travel support, posted in the Graduate Program Moodle page.
