Student Travel Funding

We are pleased to announce that the Educational Psychology Department is allocating funds for reimbursement of student travel this year. Award amounts will be up to $250 per student per year.

To qualify for these funds:

• You must be an active Educational Psychology graduate student.
• You must travel to and present at a national or international conference or professional meeting.
• Your faculty advisor must approve the travel.

Please note that these funds may not be used for state or regional conferences nor can they be used for training or workshop participation.

To receive reimbursement, you must submit all of the following to the staff member in your area:

• Student Travel Funding Request form
• proof of attendance
• a copy of the conference program showing your presentation
• original receipts for expenses for which you are requesting reimbursement. (Do not include meal receipts.)
• signed and completed expense reimbursement form (available at http://intranet.cehd.umn.edu/EPsy/). Be sure to include detailed information about your travel: who, what, when, where and why. (For example, I traveled to Indianapolis, IN to present a poster at the national meeting of ABC Society, December 1-3, 2011. In addition, include a sentence on how your presentation benefits your research or project.) Detailed instructions are available at http://policy.umn.edu/prod/groups/president/@pub/@forms/@procurement/documents/form/um1612instructions.pdf) Note that we do not reimburse for poster printing.




Submit to your program staff within 30 days after the conference. Last date to submit for reimbursement is June 5.
