Travel Grants

GSC Travel Grants

GSC travel grants are intended to aid students in covering travel expenses related to attending academic conferences, symposia, workshops, etc. Grants are only available to students who will be presenting personal research.

All travel grants must be approved by the GSC travel grant committee prior to the conference.

GSC travel grant awards are taxable and you will be responsible for claiming awarded funds on your federal income tax return. The GSC is not responsible for tax counseling or advice as to how to file an income tax return.

GSC travel grants will not exceed $250 per grant. Funds are limited so apply early.

In order to provide equal and unbiased opportunity for graduate students to receive GSC travel awards, the GSC travel grant selection committee will be drawing one name at each meeting. This student will receive the grant, and an email will be sent giving other applicants the opportunity to continue to be considered for the next month’s drawing. There are only 4 grants available, so it is in your best interest to complete your application well in advance for your name to be present in as many drawings as possible.
