Student Travel for the Presentation of Research Results
Travel to national or regional professional meetings
Travel awards are made to assist students traveling to national or regional professional meetings in order to present the results of collaborative research and creative activity at professional meetings and events.
Award:
Awards, funded by Blugold Commitment Differential Tuition, for a first trip may be up to $700, and a student may receive $1000 in any academic year. As a condition of the travel grant, students are expected to present their results at the annual UW-Eau Claire Student Research Day, or the UW System Symposium for Undergraduate Research and Creative Activity, if they have not presented these findings at one of these venues previously.
Eligibility:
UW-Eau Claire students who have documentation of a paper or poster being accepted at a professional meeting and who plan to present their research findings are eligible to apply. If multiple presenters request travel support for a single presentation at a professional meeting, this travel program normally will not support more than two student presenters. If a student plans to present a poster or paper at more than one professional meeting, it is unlikely that any individual will receive more than $1,000 from this program in a single academic year. Faculty co-presenters must seek support through their department.
Deadline for Application:
There is no set deadline, but the application must be made prior to the initiation of travel. No funds will be awarded if the application is received after the travel has occurred. Funds for this program are limited, so best to apply as early as possible. Please note that the processing of the application may take several weeks.
Application Process/Writing Guide:
Student Travel for the Presentation of Research Results applications are processed in BP Logix. Please visit the Using eForms and BP Logix page for a detailed explanation of the eForm system.
