The Student Travel to Conference Funds (part of the Student Opportunity Funds administered by the Dean of Studies Office), are provided by generous friends and alumni of the College. The Funds offer grants in support of student travel to present research or creative projects at a conference or a professional meeting.  Grants may be used to defray the costs of travel to the conference, lodging, and meals.  Students should seek support from their departments or projects to cover conference registration and membership fees in the professional organization.  

Due to the limited amount of funds, we do not provide funds for students traveling to attend a conference without presenting their work.  We also do not provide funds for student travel related to a class activity (required or voluntary) or as part of a co-curricular activity sponsored by a department or program.

Grant amounts are typically $200-$500, though we also have a few larger grants in the range of $700-$900 available.  The amounts of the awards always depend in part on the total dollars available for each semester.
