Photo and Reflection:
Graduate students who receive a professional travel grant are asked to submit a photo of themselves at the conference (and/or presenting if applicable) and to write a one-paragraph reflection upon returning. The reflection should include a few highlights from the conference that you found most useful to your studies and/or career. It should also include one or two benefits you felt you gained by attending.
Once you are approved to travel, you will be added as a contributor to our Grad Travel blog. Upon returning from the conference, upload your conference photo and reflection on the blog. Please visit this link for FAQs on creating blog posts.
Notes:
You must be a graduate student admitted to a program to be eligible for this travel grant.
Students are responsible for any charges incurred prior to travel if the trip is not made. This includes nonrefundable registration fees, cancelled flight fees, and hotel charges.
There is a limited budget for Graduate Student Professional Travel Grants. Grants will not be awarded once that budget has been exhausted.
