Travel to conferences requires that you have been accepted to present a paper; similarly, workshop participation requires an acceptance. Just chairing a conference session does not qualify grad students for travel funds. They must also have an accepted paper.
The old GSS Conference and Travel Awards have been completely replaced by the Office of Research and Graduate Studies Graduate Student Travel Awards, which are explained below. Please do not apply to the old GSS travel awards.
The Office of Research and Graduate Studies has opened applications for the RGS Graduate Student Travel Award for the coming year. The award promotes student academic involvement by partially funding travel costs associated with professional presentations at regional, national and international conferences. Developing presentation skills is critical to the success of graduate students, and conference presentations represent the best opportunity for developing those skills.
The Office of Research and Graduate Studies has funds that have been allocated for students that can cover $100-$400 per student in costs of conference registration, mileage, airfare, hotel, per diem and international travel insurance. All full-time graduate students are eligible to apply, at least four weeks before their travel date.
We encourage graduate students to take advantage of this opportunity. A full explanation of eligibility requirements, funding levels and requirements, allocation decisions and deadlines, as well as the application form, are included on the Travel Awards Guidelines. The link to apply on this page is not working so to apply please click here. The English Department will match up to $300 for Master's students and $500 for PhD students per fiscal year. (July 1- June 30) You do have the option of applying to other departments for more funding, but funds are not guaranteed.
*Before (required): At least four weeks before you trip, apply to the GSS office. When you are accepted, bring or email Robin Wheelwright your acceptance letter from the Grad School and fill out the travel form. This form is found on the departments shared drive.
