Department of Sociology Guidelines for Graduate Student Travel Awards

The Sociology Department has available approximately 15 travel stipends per year, of $500 (maximum) each, for graduate students. This is a continuing, ongoing program that you can apply for anytime, year-around. Highest priority will be given to request for funding to present paper(s) that have been accepted at professional conferences. Application for funding to attend conferences to make poster presentations, to attend sessions that you have organized and/or serve as a discussant on, and other activities will also be considered, but will be given somewhat lower priority.

If you would like to apply for a travel award, please follow these GUIDELINES:

1) Complete the attached SOCIOLOGY TRAVEL APPLICATION form.

2) Attach a separate sheet describing the conference or event, and your role in it, including paper title, session, and so on, as appropriate.

3) Hand the APPLICATION and description in to the Graduate Director

4) IMPORTANT: If you would like to receive that award beforehand (rather than get reimbursed afterwards), you must submit your application 3 weeks prior to the date on which you need to finalize your travel arrangements.

FUNDS WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL TWO WEEKS BEFORE EVENT BEGINS.

5) All students awarded travel stipends are required to submit receipts after the event as proof of travel. Receipts should be submitted to the main office.
