College Deadlines November 1st Deadline (Conference Dates of January 1st - June 30th)********************************************** UF Graduate Student Council Travel Grant For questions or comments about GSC travel grants, please contact our Grants Committee Chair (Crystal Stephens, gscgrants@gmail.com). ************************************************ Research and Graduate Programs Travel Grant Travel to conferences, symposia, and special research opportunities are essential for the professional development of advanced research students. The University also benefits by being represented at such events. The Office of Research and Graduate Programs (RGP) has therefore established a program to supplement student travel when other funding sources are insufficient. RGP guidelines for travel funding cap awards at $300 per trip and require 1:1 matching funds from the department and/or college. These funds are primarily for assistance with the cost of travel, particularly airfare. These grants are one-time awards to Graduate Students. RGP cannot provide any retroactive reimbursements.
