Travel Presentation Grants
Applications may be submitted at any time throughout the
year. Application must be made a minimum of four weeks
before the intended travel. Funding is on a first-come
basis, so it is a good idea to apply early.
Maximum grant award: $400
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 UNCA 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.
Are you seeking additional funding
from other sources? If yes, please describe in your budget paragraph.
Include detailed information.
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. Maximum grant amount is $400.00
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. |
