Graduate Student Travel

Travel reimbursement grants are available to doctoral or master's degree candidates who have had an accepted paper presentation of their research at a conference or professional meeting. Smaller grants are available for graduate students who are not presenting their work but attending professional meetings or for specific research trips.

Requests for travel funding must be made at least two weeks in advance of travel and require the approval of the department chair. Awards are limited and made on a first-come, first-served basis and given only once per student per academic year (July-June). Funds for these grants are provided by the Office of Graduate Studies and the Graduate Student Council and they are administered through the Office of Graduate Studies (Ballou Hall, 617-627-3106). A limited amount of travel funding is also available form the Department of English, if you are presenting a paper at a conference.

Application and documentation are required for all grants. You may pick up a Graduate Student Travel Reimbursement Request form and detailed guidelines from the English office or you may download the form through this link to the Office of Graduate Studies website.
