GSAS Travel/Research Application

Students in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences may apply for up to $1000 each academic year from the GSAS office to cover some of the costs of travel to present at conferences or further their research. The student must be enrolled at the College at the time of application. If the conference takes place during the academic year, the student must be enrolled that semester. If the conference takes place during a winter or summer break, the student must also be enrolled during the semester prior to the travel and during the semester afterward.

Guidelines:

Funding can be applied toward conference registration fees, travel, accommodation, food expenses, and other expenses related to necessary academic activities toward the Ph.D. degree.
Endorsement from a faculty member supervising the research/project or serving as the applicant's mentor is required for all funding applications.
Students will be expected to explore other sources of funding from their own research labs, academic departments, and the Graduate Group before applying for the GSAS Travel/Research Funds.
Applicants must submit a budget showing how the award will be spent.*
Funds do not always suffice to reimburse expenses in full. A student may receive no more than $1,000 from the GSAS Travel/Research Funds per academic year. Preference is given to students who have not previously been reimbursed and students who are traveling to present their own original scholarly research or faculty-mentored research at a conference or a workshop.
To help equitably distribute the travel support, students should plan early and apply for the travel/research funds by October 31 for the current academic year. Applications submitted after this date are reviewed on a rolling basis throughout the academic year until funding has been exhausted for the year.
Awards will be taxed as fellowships.

All requests for the GSAS Travel/Research Funds will be reviewed by the GSAS Office, in consultation with the faculty member who has endorsed your travel/research plan and your department.
