What is the mission
of the conference travel grant program?
The purpose of the
conference travel grant is to promote the presentation at conferences
of original graduate student research done at UCR.
What are conference
travel grants?
Conference travel grants are small grants available to UCR graduate
students who are attending professional conferences. Please read the
conference travel grant FAQ
for more information about this wonderful program.
Am I eligible
for a conference travel grant?
If you are a registered
graduate student in good standing at UC Riverside who is planning on
presenting at or attending an event, you may be eligible for an award.
Students on filing fee status are eligible, as are graduating students
who were accepted to present their work before their graduation. Students
on leave of absence or in absentia registration are not eligible for
conference travel grants.
New graduate students that are presenting research prior to their work at UC Riverside are not eligible for conference travel grants.
How do I qualify
to be funded as a presenter?
You must be the primary
presenter of graduate student work that was completed at UCR. The Conference
Travel Grant program will only fund one graduate student per presentation.
If you are not the first author, you must submit a letter from the conference
organizer or the session chair indicating that you were the primary
presenter.
How do I apply
for a conference travel grant?
Pick up a current
application from the GSA office or download it from the forms
page. Fill out the application and turn it in to the GSA
office by the first of the month, the month preceding the conference end date.
The second page of the application includes a step-by-step checklist
of the application process.
Your application can be either delivered in person to the receptionist in front of the GSA Office (203 Commons) or mailed to the GSA Office (GSA Conference Travel Grant Coordinator, 203 Commons). For more information, view the slides from the Conference Travel Grant Information session.
