Conference Travel Grant Application

Note: Conference travel grants are suspended September 2020-May 2021. 

Funding Available and Eligibility

CEI Scholars and Fellows may apply for up to $1000 in travel expenses to support attendance at a disciplinary conference where the student shares the results of their faculty-directed community-based project.  Applications are submitted and awards announced on a rolling decision basis after review.

Funded expenses may include conference registration, air or rail fare, mileage if traveling by car, hotel, and local transportation. Food and incidentals are not included.
