Eligibility
Students must be enrolled at least half-time, and be admitted to a graduate degree program to be eligible to receive funding.
Students may receive reimbursement only once during an academic year (fall-summer).
Procedures
Each individual is responsible for submitting a GSA Funding Request form by the deadline each semester (October 12, 2009 for Fall and February 8, 2010 for Spring and Summer).
Notification of award amounts will be made two weeks after the submission deadline.
Students traveling to the same conference are expected to share travel expenses (carpool and hotel accommodations).
Travel by personal vehicle will be reimbursed for the actual cost of gas (estimate 18 cents per mile per vehicle, not per person, when making request; i.e. if you are taking your vehicle, estimate cost of gas for the trip on your request form; if you are riding in someone else’s vehicle, enter “0” on your request form).
In the “Comments” section, please give a detailed description of your method of travel (i.e., who is traveling in your vehicle).
Meals other than those included in the conference fee will not be reimbursed.
Indicate whether you are presenting at the conference or attending only.
Receipts must be submitted to the Graduate School Office within 5 business days of returning from the event. A copy of the conference registration form should be submitted with the receipts. Use the GSA Expense Report envelope (available in the Graduate Office) to submit a summary and enclose receipts. Receipts MUST be submitted for reimbursement.
