- Conference travel between January 1, 2020 and June 30, 2020
FUNDING BY DIVISION/SCHOOL
Within each pool, the funding is divided between the divisions and schools housing our graduate programs. The allocation for each division/school is based upon its headcount of graduate student enrollment.

- College of Engineering
- Division of Humanities and Fine Arts, College of Letters and Science
- Division of Mathematical, Life, and Physical Sciences, College of Letters and Science

FUNDING ALLOCATIONS
The Graduate Council has put these guidelines in place to help ensure that the grant funding will be distributed equally among students attending conferences at the beginning and the end of the year, and among the various disciplines.
Applications will be accepted for each pool until the funds are expended for respective divisions/schools.
