Travel Awards

Travel Program

The Graduate Student Council (GSC) Graduate Student Travel Award Reimbursement Fund enables graduate students to travel, present, or attend professional conferences and meetings that have been peer-reviewed, juried, or selected by the major associations or societies in their fields.

A total of 10 students for the semester will be rewarded this travel award as a reimbursement fund, meaning the travel has to be completed prior to the submission date and itemized receipts must be submitted along with your application. A maximum of $500 per individual may be awarded. 

Eligibility

Student applicants must be graduate students currently enrolled at TWU at the time the application is made and the presentation travel must be completed during the allotted time frame for the current open application. A student may receive only one travel award per fiscal year (September through August) from this program. The request to the Graduate Student Travel Award Reimbursement application must be supported by the student’s faculty mentor and/or department chair.
