Hurry Up!! Wisconsin is calling for a golden opportunity for students that offers student research grants to graduate students.
Have you been invited to present your research at a conference or do you need additional funds to support research travel in preparation for your dissertation, final exhibition, or thesis? If so, you should consider applying for a Student Research Grants Competition (SRGC) Award. Award levels are $1,500 for Research Travel and $600 or $1,200 for Conference Presentation funds.
Eligibility
- Students must be enrolled at UW–Madison as full-time graduate students. Priority will be given to dissertators and MFA students in their final year, and to those who have not previously received an SRGC Research Travel or Conference Presentation Award.
- Students must be traveling to conduct research supporting a dissertation, thesis, or final exhibition.
Benefits
- The SRGC Research Travel Award supports travel expenses to research related to your thesis or final exhibition. Research travel awards cannot be used for travel that primarily involves attending a conference, workshop, or training experience that does not involve conducting the research needed for your dissertation, thesis, or final exhibition. Applications are reviewed on a quarterly basis throughout the year. Not all eligible applications will be funded.
Application Process
Complete the Research Travel Award application on the Wisconsin Scholarship Hub (WiSH) website, including:
- Information regarding research location, dates, and student status.
- A synopsis of your research plan.
- An estimated itemized budget that includes all funding sources. Applicants are expected to research rates and be good stewards of university resources when making purchasing decisions. Applications that appear to have inflated costs or been irresponsible with university funds will not be considered. Students should pursue funding from other sources before applying for a Research Travel Award and may be rejected if they do not have any other funding for their research travel.
- Your advisor’s contact information. Your advisor will be sent an email with a link where they will be asked to verify your research travel plans.
