PhD Travel Award Form

To be filled out before completing the application.

The department can fund up to $600 in travel costs. In order to make distribution of travel funding more equitable, PhD students should request funding by September 15 for the fall semester and by February 15 for the spring semester.

Priority for these funds will be given as follows:

  1. students presenting at national conferences
  2. students presenting at regional conferences
  3. students presenting at local conferences
  4. students accepted to seminars (such as those at Cornell’s School of Criticism & Theory or Breadloaf)
  5. students conducting archival research

Overall, those who have not yet been supported by these funds will be given priority over those who have.

When submitting receipts from travel, fill out this application form, get your advisor’s signature, and turn it in to the DGS Office to be signed. The DGS will pass the form on to the department’s business manager for processing.
