Travel Awards

SLIS offers reimbursement awards for Ph.D. students to cover expenses associated with attending conferences, including travel and conference registration fees. To request a reimbursement, the student must complete the Application for Travel Reimbursement Award form, including the name of the conference (without abbreviations or acronyms). The form must be signed by the student's faculty advisor and submitted to the Ph.D. recorder.

The time period covered by the SLIS Travel Reimbursement Award follows the academic year (July 1 to June 30). Requests for travel reimbursement must cover travel that has been completed within this time period. There are two deadlines for submitting an application for travel reimbursement: December 15 and June 15.

The maximum reimbursement awarded to each student will be $350 per academic year. Requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis until the final deadline has passed or funds have been exhausted.

Travel and research grants may also be available through various IU programs:

• GPSO - Graduate and Professional School Organization
• WISP - Women in Science Program
