Gradaute Student Council Conference Funding

If you would like to request funding for conference travel, then please fill out the downloadable Conference Funding Form and submit it to the Student Life Office in Nazareth Student Center, room 107.

Please read the guidelines below before applying:

The following are general guidelines that will be followed in awarding funding, but they are subject to change at the discretion of the Graduate Student Council:

• Students will need to apply at least 4 weeks prior to the conference so that we will have time to meet and discuss how much funding will be awarded.

 

Registration:**

Up to 100% can be awarded (amounts will vary based on the total amount of funding needed by the students and discretion will be left up to the GSC committee).

Travel:**

Up to 50% of gas money will be reimbursed if receipts are provided to the GSC
Plane tickets may be reimbursed up to 50% if conference is located more than six hours by car from Scranton, PA.

International travel will be considered on a case by case basis

Accommodations:**

Up to 50% of accommodations money will be reimbursed if receipts are provided to the GSC

Other considerations:

• Approval from the department chair
• Number of other students attending the conference
• Whether or not the student is presenting at the conference

 

It should be noted that if funding is available, then GSC may award more than 50% of hotel and travel, but this will at the discretion of the council.

** The percentage allotted for registration, accommodations, and travel will be awarded on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the GSC committee.
