Student Travel for the Presentation of Research Results
A. Purpose and Overview:
Travel awards may be made to assist students traveling to national or regional professional meetings in order to present the results of collaborative research. These awards will not exceed $600 and are intended to encourage students to submit the results of their research for dissemination at professional meetings. As a condition of the travel grant, students must submit their abstract and citation for inclusion in The Center of Excellence Scholarly Contributions publication. Students will also be 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 a previous UW-Eau Claire or UW System symposium.
B. 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 are eligible for support through the Travel Support for Scholarly Presentations program.
C. Writing Guide:
The application should consist of:
- Request for Student Research Presentation Travel (CEX Form III),
- A copy of the meeting program
- A letter of acceptance attached.

D. Deadline for Application:
There is no set deadline, but 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. Please send one copy with the appropriate signatures to ORSP.
