Travel Award

The Graduate School offers travel assistance up to $700 for academic presentations and creative works to peer-reviewed scholarly venues. Students must submit an application, forward the letter or email confirming acceptance, and provide the names of their program coordinator and department administrative assistant to Dr. Brad Rawlins, brawlins@astate.edu.

Assistance is awarded on a first come basis until funds are no longer available, and may be used only for conference fees, lodging, and travel (not meals or personal car mileage). Successful applications should also include a contribution from the department or college, demonstrating shared support for the activity.

After travel is completed, the student or department should submit a travel report to the Graduate School. Once approved, funds will be transferred back to the department.

Additional research support (up to $500) may be available through the Office of Student Research and Scholarship. For details, please contact Ms. Kari Harris: kharris@astate.edu
