The Research and Individualized Student Experiences (RISE) Office, supported by the Provost Office, provides support for student travel to make presentations at conferences, exhibits or performances. Preference will be given to students who are presenting their own work.
To apply, visit the RISE website and fill out the application form along with a faculty sponsor form. Please read the guidelines for applying for student travel support (Word doc) at the RISE website before preparing your request.
Student travel grant awardees are required to submit a short summary of their experience to the RISE office within one month of the event.
Please be advised that there is a limited amount of funds to support student travel requests. Most applications will not receive full funding and cost-saving procedures are encouraged. These procedures would include selecting state and local conferences, applying for discount group rates at hotels in proximity to the conference and driving to nearby venues as opposed to flying. Chairs and deans may know of other sources. Also, check with the relevant student agencies and organizations.
