Ph.D. Students Travel Funding

Ph.D. Students Travel Funding offers travel funding to enable Ph.D. students to present research in venues that will provide professional development and visibility to enhance careers.

Eligibility

• Interested candidates can apply.

Benefits

• Ph.D. students are invited to make a request once a year for up to $500 in travel funding from the Ph.D. Network.   Students are encouraged to submit funding requests two months prior to the event to allow major expenses to be paid in advance (by the student’s department) if an award is given.  Requests for travel funding are reviewed the first week of each month.  All requests made by the last day of the previous month will be reviewed with decisions announced within 2 weeks.  It is expected that requests for travel funding will be matched with another source and does not exceed 50% of the total cost of the travel.  For example, a trip that costs $800 will be awarded a maximum of $400 in Ph.D. Travel Funding (not $500). The student’s advisor, department, or college will be expected to contribute a minimum matching $400.
