Student Research Grants Competition - Conference Presentation

This competition includes awards for graduate students travelling to present research at a conference. If you are traveling for other research purposes, you are not eligible for this award. Please fill out the separate Student Research Grants Competition – Research Travel application for that type of travel.

Conference presentation travel beginning between October 1, 2022 and December 31, 2022 is eligible for this award. There will be separate application cycles for January-March 2023 and April-June 2023. Please visit our program site and carefully read through the information presented regarding Conference Presentation funds before applying. Included is information on deadlines throughout the year, eligibility, award levels, FAQs, and more.

Note that some expenses, such as airfare, are only eligible for reimbursement if purchased through UW-Madison’s Concur platform. Most other allowable expenses are reimbursable whether or not Concur is used. These restrictions are noted in the application.
