Students wishing to travel to a professional conference are encouraged to apply for a Student Travel Grant. The application process is competitive. Applicants can request up $500.00 to cover travel and registration expenses. However, if a student is only attending a conference (i.e., not presenting, serving on a panel, etc.) then the maximum award is up to $250.00.

Other Federal and State Grants for Students Conducting Undergraduate Research

There are numerous national and state grants for students wanting to conduct undergraduate research projects. The CRC is willing to assist students in locating these opportunities; however, it is the responsibility of the student and faculty mentor to write and submit the grant. It is highly recommended that students start the grant-writing process early, as the submission deadlines vary by grant.
