The Graduate College provides funding assistance to graduate students who present their research/graduate work at competitive/juried conferences, meetings, symposia and similar professional or academic gatherings. The funds are allocated by the GSS Travel Funds Committee to deserving applications in four cycles throughout each fiscal year. The funds are competitive. We receive far more applications than we can financially support. 

Applications must be submitted during the cycle in which your travel occurs before the cycle deadline. This may mean that you are submitting your application before traveling. Applications will be reviewed immediately following the cycle deadline. Applications submitted in the incorrect cycle or without all necessary documentation will be voided. You must be a current student during the travel to be reimbursed. Submissions for travel happening after a student has graduated will be voided and not considered.

Please read all instructions about eligibility and applying before proceeding. You can also review frequently asked questions and other special funding information.

Here are the funding cycles:
