Support for the Program is made possible through the contributions of alumni and friends to the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Annual Fund.

Funds are available to support the expenses of graduate students who present their research at national and international professional meetings.

A maximum of $300 per award will be provided; thus it is anticipated that several awards could be given during the year.

Not more than one award will be given to any student in one year.

An Alumni Student Travel Award should supplement funds provided from other sources, e.g., funds from a faculty advisor or departmental program.

Requests for support from the Program should be submitted in writing to the Dean of the Graduate School at least 30 days prior to travel arrangements being made and should be accompanied by an abstract of the paper to be presented and a supporting letter from the student's advisor. The advisor's letter should include all funding that has been awarded.

A brief report detailing the benefits received from the travel should be submitted to the Dean of the Graduate School within one month of the student's return.

All travel that includes funds from the Program is to be processed through the Graduate School. For procedures to be followed, please contact:
