Conference Presentation/Attendance Grants

lwolford@tulane.edu

These grants will fund travel expenses for undergraduate students who present papers, participate in a panel, or attend professional academic meetings.

The student should indicate if they will attend the conference regardless of the acceptance of their paper. Students must complete such travel prior to graduating from Tulane University. Preference is given to presenters or panel participants over conference attendees, and proof of submission or acceptance must be included with the proposal. If attending and not presenting, the applicant must describe how attendance at the conference is important to their academic work. Proposals for conference attendance, as opposed to conference participation, may be only partially funded. Any student requesting funding for travel to non-academic meetings/competitions must show a close connection to the student's academic study and should discuss the coursework they have taken that prepares them for this event. Students must also provide an unofficial transcript with this type of proposal.
