Travel funding

Students who would like funding for mathematical travel (attending a conference, for example) can draw on several resources:

  • If the student has access to grant money that provides travel support, this should be used first.
  • The student's advisor might have grant money available for grad student travel: ask your advisor!
  • The UW Graduate School has some funding available, if you are presenting a talk or a poster: up to $300 for domestic airfare, $500 for international. Note the deadlines on their page – the application may be due up to two months before the trip, so plan ahead. To apply, contact the Mathematics GPC with the following information: where you're going, the title of your presentation, and how much money you're requesting.
  • The Department of Mathematics also has some funding available. To apply, contact the Mathematics GPC with the following information: where you're going, whether you're giving a presentation, and how much money you're requesting. Your advisor should also write a brief letter of support to the GPC.
