Travel Grants
The Allen School Travel Grant program has been suspended for the 2025-2026 academic year. Students can still apply for GPSS travel grants and the Graduate School’s “Graduate Student Conference Presentation Award.”
Some students receive funding through their research advisor(s), conference scholarships or volunteering.
GPSS travel grants and the Graduate Student Conference Presentation Award may still be available, though we expect the GSCPA to be very limited this year. A student can only earn the GSCPA once every two years. Please use the Allen School Travel Grant application to request funds from the UW Graduate Schools GSCPA program.
Students are required to provide the following information in their request:
- Conference Name
- Conference Dates
- Conference location
- Title of poster/paper
- Proof of participation (i.e. pdf email invitation, screenshot of agenda)
- Other anticipated sources of funding
- Conference registration fee
- Approximate Flight/transportation cost – Business/first class transportation is NOT reimbursable
- Hotel cost (shared preferred)
It is important to note that the Allen School Travel Grants cannot cover meals.
