Honors Student Research or Conference Travel Funding

To help encourage Honors Program students to engage in original scholarship, the Honors Program will consider requests for funding to help students travel to academic and scholarly conferences WITH their academic mentors or advisors.  The Honors Program typically provides around $250.00 per student per conference but can, pending the specifics of the situation, provide additional funds. 

In order to qualify for travel funds, students and their mentors must have previously requested student travel funds from (1) their respective colleges (e.g., College of Arts and Letters, College of Business, etc.) and (2) their respective departments.  Evidence of having requested travel funds from colleges and departments is required in the application.

In addition to completing the application for student travel, students must provide evidence of their participation at the conference.  Specifically, they must provide documentation of their inclusion in the conference program and/or a photograph of them presenting at the conference when they return (or both).
