Graduate School Travel Awards
- CEMB students that need a travel grant to present at a national meeting can get $600/MS, or $1000/PhD, from the Graduate School.
- The Graduate School requires a 10% match from the department. CEMB PhD students should be able to get $100 from their department and $100 from CEMB. MS students qualify for $60 from each but if the Major Professor makes a significant written case to the Director, the CEMB program may provide additional match.
- CEMB students should apply to not only their home department, but also to the CEMB program.
- The graduate school has a form that you complete (see Forms and Resources page). There is a place for the Department to match and an additional match entry for other sources (e.g., CEMB).
- In order to get support from both your home department and CEMB you must get approval (that means a signature on the travel request) from your department chair/head and from the Director of CEMB.
- You may not assume both the Department Head/Chair and CEMB Director will approve.
- Complete the form (available on the graduate school website under forms) BEFORE your travel.
- Have your Department Chair/Head sign the form, and then scan or photograph it to email to the CEMB Director. Then I will sign and send to the graduate school. Be certain to include your abstract, and if the abstract has been accepted send that evidence also.
- You need BOTH signatures BEFORE it goes to the Graduate School.
- Travel awards are limited to one per fiscal year (July through June).
