Travel Program
The Graduate Student Council (GSC) Graduate Student Travel Program enables graduate students to travel to present or attend professional conferences and meetings that have been peer-reviewed, juried, or selected by the major associations or societies in their fields.
This travel program is a reimbursement fund. 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 within one academic year of acceptance. A student may receive only one travel award per fiscal year (September through August) from this program. The award may be used to support one student. The request to the Graduate Student Travel Program must be supported by the student’s faculty mentor and department chair.
Application and Submission Instructions
Complete the application form. Make sure all items are as detailed and accurate as possible. Make sure to read the form carefully and fill out all portions according to the directions. The completed application form must be signed by the student, faculty mentor, and department chair (or equivalent). The application and photo release form must be emailed as .pdf documents to Graduate Student Council. Any application that is handwritten, not signed, does not meet the deadline, or does not follow the instructions may not be accepted.
