Ph.D. STUDENT TRAVEL AWARD POLICIES
1. Awards will be issued throughout the academic year for travel between July
1 and June 30th.
2. These travel awards are for doctoral students who are presenting scholarly
activity (e.g., a research paper, presentation, substantial participation in a
panel discussion or poster session). Attendance only requests may be
considered if funds are available at the end of the budget year.
3. The range of awards for one conference/workshop is up to $200. All awards
are subject to the availability of funds and all award decisions are final.
4. A student may receive only one travel grant in any fiscal year.
a. More than one student from the same presentation may receive an
award, especially if the conference/workshop is interdisciplinary and
the students are working together as a team. In such cases, each
student may apply but the applications should be submitted together
at one time.
b. Awards will be given for both domestic and international conferences.
Applicants for international travel should also seek concurrent support
from the World College at:

c. Conference presentations of dissertation results may also be partially
funded by the Graduate School. Please visit the Graduate School
website for details:

5. Within 30 days after paper/presentation, students who have received an
award must submit a 1-2 page overview of the conference/workshop
attended. Include a brief review of the experience, the benefits gained and
how this experience may contribute to your Program of Study. Send your
report to the College of Technology, Dean’s Office, 159 Sill Hall, Attn: Tracy
