Professional travel
A page within Graduate Education
Funding provided by Graduate Studies and the Student Senate is allocated to support attendance at conferences. Each year there are multiple application deadlines. Please apply for travel funds during an application date at least 3 weeks prior to your conference date. Applications may be submitted between the deadlines, but must be received at least 3 weeks prior to the proposed travel. Please notify the Graduate Education office at gradstudies@uwlax.edu prior to submission if you are submitting an application between two deadlines.
If more than one student will be traveling to the same conference, a group application must be submitted, so please try to coordinate within your program when considering a travel grant application.
Eligibility: Full/part-time on-campus students, enrolled in a graduate program at UWL, and in good academic standing are eligible. Special non-degree graduate students are not eligible for these funds. Professional travel grants must be approved prior to travel.
*Please be advised that to ensure reimbursement, all travel supported by a university grant must adhere to the University travel policy.
Guidelines and submission
Applicants can access the Professional Travel Grants Guidelines and apply for funding by logging into the Graduate Grant Submission Canvas Site and locating the appropriate grant submission module.
Please note:
This information should serve as a general overview of the reimbursement process.
