The CPG committee is responsible for the evaluation of applications and allocations of funds in accordance with the Conference Presentation Grant Program guidelines established by the committee and the GSC.

The primary purpose of the Conference Presentation Grant Program is to PARTIALLY reimburse the expenses incurred by graduate students during travel to conferences and meetings to present work conducted in the student's major field of study. The Conference Presentation Grant Program is considered supplemental to departmental and other sources of funding.

Applications are considered after the travel has occurred. Applications must be submitted within 60 days of travel. After travel grant applications have been processed and sent to accounting, it takes approximately three to six weeks for reimbursement.

Applications for reimbursement are only accepted once per year per student. The application form can be found below. Send completed applications to:
