The Department of Mathematics accepts applications for travel grants for up to $250 for in-state conferences and up to $500 for out-of-state conferences. No moneys are awarded for international travel. These awards are given to facilitate
educational and professional development through conference participation by an undergraduate student presenting a paper or poster in Mathematics.

The awards are given as reimbursements. Travel grant applications will be considered on a rolling basis (September 1 鈥� August 31). Awards will be given as a first come, first served basis since there are limited funds available.
