Undergraduate Research & Collaborative Scholarships
Guidelines
THE STUDENT TRAVEL GRANT PROGRAM HAS BEEN TEMORARILY SUSPENDED . THE PROGRAM WILL BE REINSTATED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
The Undergraduate Research and Collaborative Scholarships Program enthusiastically supports students who wish to present a paper at a scholarly conference.
Terms of the Award
The amount of each Student Travel Grant depends upon need and funds available, but no grant will exceed $1,000. Student Travel Grants typically provide funding for air and ground transportation, lodging, meeting registration, meals, and other expenses directly related to a student's attendance at a conference.
In order to be reimbursed for any expense, student travel grant recipients must provide a paper receipt confirming both the actual expenditure and the fact that it was paid for. When requesting reimbursement for meals, student travel grant recipients are asked to keep all expenditures at reasonable levels, with a rough guide of no more than $10 for breakfast, $15 for lunch, and $20 for dinner. In all cases, students are asked to be responsible stewards of University resources. The URCS Program reserves the right NOT to reimburse any travel grant recipient for expenses deemed excessive.
The Student Travel Grant will not pay for any alcohol.
