Graduate Student Travel Grant Form

All funds available to support graduate student research and professional development will be distributed at the discretion of the chair and the Faculty Council. These funds will be distributed among our graduate students to support activities such as travel to conferences.

Travel to conferences may be supported in two cases:
1) ABD students attending the MLA conference as part of their job search. For this type of support, the department will distribute no more than 50% of the total funds available. The job search travel grant will be awarded to a graduate student only once; the amount awarded will not exceed $1000 per student.

2) Graduate students traveling to conferences to present papers or to chair sessions. Students may apply for this award only once every two years, and priority will be given to those who have not been previously funded. The amount awarded will not exceed $1000 per student.

The Graduate Student Travel Approval form can be found on the MySpanPort page under the “Graduate Students” tab.
