Dollar Amount: $200-$1000 each application cycle (Grant funds are disbursed as reimbursements to the student and require receipts to be submitted for reimbursement after expenses are paid)
Requirement:
- Travel is only allowed in the continental U.S.; International travel cannot be funded at this time. Priority is given to applicants whose travel will occur within the next three months; applications for travel planned for more than three months after the application date might be postponed to a later application date. Travel cannot occur less than 2 weeks of the submittal deadline dates. A completed Travel Request form must accompany your application as well.
- “Conference” may include symposia, congress, arts competitions, and performance auditions. Applications will only be considered if the student has an active participation in the conference (for example, as presenter, speaker, poster author, panelist, conference volunteer/worker, performer, etc.). It is expected that the graduate student’s participation will be linked to the student’s degree program requirements (for example, thesis or project research, performance, or course work).
- Financial need will be determined by the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or CA Dream Act if you are eligible. If you are not eligible to complete one of these applications, you will need to explain your financial need in Part II of the grant application. The explanation needs to include details about your regular expenses and income and will be determined at the discretion of the Director of Graduate Studies.
