Undergraduate Student Travel Grant

The purpose of this fund is to provide resources for undergraduate student trave to academic and professional conferences.

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

Limit: One Student Travel Grant allowed per student throughout SVSU career, maximum funding of up to $1,500. Students traveling to the same conference should submit a group application. Group proposals may receive up to $1,500 total.

Undergraduate students registered at least half time during the academic year (6 or more credits per fall and winter semesters). Applicants must be enrolled as SVSU undergraduate student during time of travel or traveling within six months of graduation. To be considered for a student-travel grant, student must be presenting at a peer-reviewed/juried conference.

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