Frequently Asked Questions

How do I apply for a travel award? Students interested in submitting work to professional conferences are strongly advised to have their proposals reviewed by at least one faculty member prior to submission. In order to be eligible for departmental support, all abstracts must be reviewed by a least one faculty member. Once accepted and prior to the conference, forward to the Department Chair the email indicating that your paper has been accepted for presentation, along with a letter of request that includes an itemized budget estimate. Because department funds are limited, consider applying to other campus sources noted in the Graduate Student Handbook.
