Graduate Student Conference Travel Awards
Graduate student travel awards are available through the Graduate School. These awards assist with travel to major national or international events so students may present papers or posters at conferences, serve as invited speakers, or participate in performances or installations. You can read details about this funding on the Graduate School website.
If you wish to be considered for this funding, please provide the following information to the School of Art + Art History + Design Advising office (gradart@uw.edu) two weeks prior to the deadline associated with your month of travel:
- Title of the paper, poster, talk or presentation
- Title, location, and dates of event
- Dates of travel
- PDF of letter of invitation from event organizers
- Source of any additional funding that you have applied for, or received, in support of your participation in the event
If the School of Art + Art History + Design receives multiple conference travel requests for a deadline, the Director will prioritize them prior to the School’s submission to the college.
