Travel Grants

The WRS graduate program can provide travel grants (generally no more $500 per student per fiscal year) to help defray expenses for WRS students to attend regional, national, or international meetings. Generally, grants are for students who are presenting papers or posters at the meeting, not simple attendance. Students are encouraged to match the request with other sources of funding such as personal, departmental, or research project funds.

Requests for funding will be reviewed three time per year. Deadlines for application are February 1, June 1, and October 1. The DGS will assess the request and notify you of the funding decision within 2 weeks. Funds will be made available once you provide verification of acceptance of your abstract and registration for the meeting.
