To be eligible for the grant, students need to be in good standing in an M.S. (option 1) or Ph.D. program within the College of Engineering, have an accepted technical poster or presentation at the scientific conference for which they were applying for funds, and priority is given to those students whose conference occurs after the application deadline and students who have not received a conference travel grant in the last 12 months.
Graduate Student Conference Travel Grants are due Feb. 15, May 15, Aug. 15, and Nov. 15.
Students can apply now online for the next round of grants, and those applications are due Feb. 15.
