Graduate and professional students who have presented or attended at a conference are eligible for up to $500 in reimbursements for the fiscal year (Summer 2010, Fall 2010, and Spring 2011).  Those who presented will be given priority over those who attended.  For further clarification of eligibility requirements, please consult the guidelines on our website.

GPSS would like to extend our thanks for the patience of the graduate and professional students who anxiously awaited the arrival of this website.  We recognize the importance and necessity of the Conference Travel Grant Fund.  By financially assisting students who attend academically related conferences, we are helping to ensure the high caliber research and academic excellence that is characteristic of a Trojan.  Fight on!
