The philosophy of the College is to promote the professional development of students by providing funds for travel to professional meetings or other meetings which promote the research interests of the College. Unfortunately, there are not enough funds for all travel requests, so priorities have been put into place for more equitable decision making. Generally, students must present a paper or lecture at a professional meeting in order to meet this criterion.
Cost sharing is an important factor in demonstrating the merit of the request.
We will provide funds up to the amounts listed below. This memo is to clarify the policy in effect for requesting funds from the Research Office for conference travel for students. The enclosed policy statement should help your students when requesting funds from the Research Office. Thanks for your help.
