Science Center Student Conference Travel Grant Application

STUDENT CONFERENCE TRAVEL GRANT APPLICATION – SCIENCE CENTER

Applications due October 1, February 1, or June 1 (or next business day) annually.

The purpose of this program is to support student-faculty collaboration and student research. Students who are traveling to scientific meetings and presenting their work as posters or talks (as first or second authors) are eligible to apply. Applications will be accepted three times annually for travel during the following award period. Total awards will normally not exceed $750/student in any year or $500/student from any one source. Students should apply in advance of attending the conference for which support is being requested. Ordinarily, no retroactive awards will be made. Prior to requesting support from the Science Center, students are expected to apply for additional travel support (i.e. Departmental funding and/or travels grants from Disciplinary societies, etc.) to defray travel costs.

Note to Faculty Advisors: Travel funds are extremely limited; advisors and departments are strongly encouraged to “match” travel funds requested by students from departmental funds and faculty grants where possible. Incomplete applications will not be considered for funding.

Note: Within thirty days of the conclusion of the conference, students must submit their receipts and a written narrative of 1-2 paragraphs describing how the conference benefited their academic experience. This information is an important part of our reports to our funding agencies. Late submission may result in forfeiture of travel funding.
