Procedure for requesting use of your Research and Conference Travel Funds
All
American Studies graduate students are provided up to $1500 in
department Research and Conference Travel funding over the course of
your graduate career. Requests are limited to $500 per instance. Because
the funds are limited, you are encouraged to apply for outside sources
and to rely on this department funding only when you are unable to
secure outside funding. Good sources include conference organizations
and "best paper" competitions. The following is a list of several University web sites with information about additional funding opportunities:

You
may request funding as soon as the criteria for each allocation are
met. The typical response time in which you will receive a reply
indicating whether or not your request has been approved is two weeks.
Note: Funds are distributed after the travel takes place in the form of a
reimbursement for specific expenses incurred. Please review the
specific processes below and contact Melanie Steinman Kelly if you have
any questions.
