Graduate Research Conference Travel Grants
Are you considering attending a professional conference to present your work? Learn more about how to apply for a Graduate Conference Travel Grant to offset your cost.
To apply for funds to cover part of your travel, please do the following:
- Fill out this form in its entirety: Graduate Conference Travel Funding Application.
The form requests that you describe how this travel will benefit the college. Here’s an example of what a request might say from the political science department:
“Being able to attend this conference will benefit me with my professional goals, which therefore benefits the college. I will be able to see a national conference first hand and get some experience presenting my research before a room of like-minded scholars. Attending a national conference will expose me to the world of networking and real “politics” in political science.”
- Email the completed form to graduatestudies@uvawise.edu with the subject line “Graduate Conference Travel Request.”
Travel awards are made on a rolling basis. You will be notified as soon as possible whether you will receive funding from Graduate Studies for your travel request. Travel request forms must be submitted 60 days in advance for International travel and 45 days for Out-of-State or In-State travel. Graduate students can request up to $500 for in-state, $1000 for domestic, and $1500 for travel outside the continental U.S.
