Purpose: The student presentation grant program provides funding to allow a student to present research results at conferences and meetings. Funding for travel associated with doing the research should be requested under the Academic Year Research Grant Program.

Eligibility: Any currently enrolled UNC Asheville student is eligible to apply. Preference is given to full-time students.

Grants Available: The application for a presentation grant consists of a description of the conference/meeting for which the student is requesting funds, an estimate of the travel cost, and an abstract of the research to be presented. As a final report, the student is required to submit a request for travel expenses reimbursement and a copy of the program or abstract book in which the presentation is listed.

The following criteria will be used to assess the proposals:

-The contribution the research makes to the field.
-Whether or not the applicant is the actual presenter of the paper.
-The completeness of the proposal and the extent to which it follows the guidelines specified on the application form.

Students who have been past recipients may reapply, however priority will be given to first-time applicants. Also, although faculty occasionally sponsor more than one student at a time, it may be necessary to limit the number of awards per faculty member in the interest of distributing funding as much as possible.
