Doctoral students who present at academic conferences can apply to the Graduate School for funds to cover related travel expenses (Reimbursement will not be granted for merely attending a conference).

• Eligible graduate students will be reimbursed for a maximum of one conference per fiscal year (July 1 through June 30), as determined by the end date of travel.
• Given funding limitations, application does not guarantee support.

Doctoral students who present original work at academic conferences can request support from both the Graduate School (see above) and the School of Public Health. The School of Public Health will provide up to $400 to cover related travel expenses not covered by the Graduate School. Students are eligible to receive a total of $400 during their doctoral training period. This is typically awarded for one conference trip but can be allocated to multiple trips if desired.

After travel is completed, graduate students must submit appropriate documentation as explained on the Graduate School’s Conference Travel Reimbursement webpage to their home program’s administrative coordinator for approval and electronic processing of the reimbursement request.

Completed travel reimbursement requests should be submitted to the home program no later than 30 days after completion of travel; those submitted after 45 days will not be reimbursed.

Master's students participating in professional development conferences, workshops, or training, whether in person or virtually, can apply to the School of Professional Studies for up to $500 to cover registration, travel, and other related expenses through the Master’s Student Professional Development Fund.
