The purpose of this grant is to provide resources for graduate student travel to academic and professional conferences.

Funds are available up to $600 regional, $1,000 national, and $1,500 international conferences.

Limit: $1,500 maximum per person throughout SVSU career. The committee will also consider funding group proposals requesting travel support and will determine appropriate funding level.

Eligibility:  Graduate students - registered at least half time during the academic year (5 or more credits fall and 5 or more credits winter semesters per university part-time definition). In order to be considered for a student-travel grant, student must be presenting at a conference.

Due to limited funds, networking/professional development conferences do not qualify for student-travel grants.

There are an estimated 6-7 awards per year.
