Value:        
Maximum value of $1,100 for master's students; maximum value of $1,300 for doctoral students depending on the travel destination and the estimate of eligible expenses.

Number:    
Varies

Requirements / Eligibility:    
Awarded to full-time doctoral and master's students in support of approved travel expenses related to research. Support is available for travel to a research conference, symposium, library, archive, museum, etc, where the student will actively interact with colleagues and receive important information and advice related to the student's research thesis.

Because support is available only once during a student's program, it is anticipated that the travel selected will be a highlight in the student's research program.

Master's students in thesis-based programs must have completed preliminary coursework and other prerequisites, and be actively engaged in research towards their thesis. Master's students in course-based programs must have completed at least two terms of full-time registration in the master's program by the time of travel.

PhD students must have either completed their candidacy examination or have completed preliminary coursework and other prerequisites, and be actively engaged in research towards their thesis.
