Travel Grants are awarded on a competitive basis to students who have had an abstract or artist statement accepted for a presentation at a regional or national conference. A maximum of $300 may be awarded per student for domestic travel, and a maximum of $500 may be awarded per student for international travel. The Travel Grant may be used to cover expenses such as hotel costs, airfare or mileage, and registration fees for presenting at in-person or virtual conferences.
This award is a reimbursement award only; you arrange and purchase your registration and travel prior to the conference, and the Travel Grant reimburses you after the conference. Before applying for a Travel Grant, please review the Travel Reimbursement Guidelines. These guidelines explain allowable expenses, receipts you will need, and documentation you will need to provide.
Please note that expenses will only be reimbursed when original, itemized receipts are submitted.
