Apply for Funding

Our office will fund travel to one conference per student, per academic year; the spending limit is $1,250 for domestic travel and $1,750 for international travel, with allowance for higher cost travel on a case-by-case basis.

Faculty traveling together with a group of more than 5 students may complete the group application to request funding rather than students applying individually. Please note that departments should wait to receive approval before making purchases.

Contact the Student Travel Office if you have any questions or need additional information.
