Student Travel to Present Awards
Student Travel to Present Funds are made possible by generous friends and alumni of
Skidmore College. Awards support student travel to present research or creative projects
at a conference or a professional meeting. Grants may be used to defray the costs
of travel to the conference, lodging, and meals. Students should seek support from
their departments to cover conference registration and membership fees in the professional
organization. Grant amounts are typically $500-$700 and depend on availability of funds each semester.
We do not provide funds for travel to attend a meeting where the student does not
present. We also do not provide funds for student travel related to a class activity
(required or voluntary) or as part of a co-curricular activity sponsored by a department
or program.
We support travel to a conference only when you are officially presenting research
results.
