Graduate Student Travel

The Graduate Student Travel Award offers financial support through the Office of the Provost.
The Graduate Student Travel Award is an opportunity for eligible graduate students to participate in conference presentations and competitions.
Graduate students may apply for a travel award of up to $750 once per degree level (master's, doctoral, or specialist). The Graduate Student Travel Award is open to all graduate students, regardless of their discipline and course format (on-campus or online). To qualify for this award, graduate students must complete their travel before graduation.
Students may apply through MyUWF, search "Graduate Student Travel Application"
A graduate student may participate in multiple conferences or competitions with a maximum funding of $750 per degree, whether in person or virtually.
The Graduate School will credit the Graduate Student Travel Award scholarship to the traveling student’s Transact account and provide accident/health insurance.
* Please note: If your Transact account has a balance due, this award will be paid toward the balance.
For questions contact Dr. Melissa Webb at mwebb@uwf.edu.
Travel funding from the Graduate School is not guaranteed, and students should not wait for funding decisions before making travel plans. When submitting a proposal to present at a conference, please move forward as if you will be accepted. If funding is not awarded, students should be prepared to cover their own expenses or seek alternate sources of funding.
We encourage early planning and recommend exploring departmental, college, or external funding opportunities as backup options.
