graduate travel guidelines

 

Master of Arts in Anthropology
Master of Applied Anthropology

The Anthropology Department has allocated funds for MA and MAA in Anthropology graduate students to travel to academic meetings or professional conferences.  These funds allow students to gain professional experience through participation in regional or national professional organizations in one of their fields of interest.

Funds are awarded according to the following criteria:

• Students must be giving a paper at a conference and must have received an official acceptance letter from the conference organizer(s).

• Students must complete a one-page application form available from the Department of Anthropology and append to this form a one-page abstract of the student's paper and a copy of the acceptance letter. This form must be approved by your graduate advisor prior to submitting it to the Graduate Coordinator.

• Awards will vary.  Awards will generally not exceed $500.00. For regional conferences to which several students are going, the department may provide funding for carpooling.

• Preference is given to students who have completed at least 15 hours of graduate work.

To apply for a graduate student travel award, complete the Application for Travel Award form and submit it and the required attachments to the department's Graduate Coordinator.
