The College of Engineering announces a call for nominations for student travel awards.
Individual students are eligible for up to $1500 in funding. A total of $100,000 in funding will be available this academic year, spread over two calls for proposals – this one now, and one to be issued in February. This call will cover travel anticipated throughout the entire academic year, while the February call will address new opportunities that might arise during the year.
- Nominations are due: Monday, Nov. 4
- Award decisions will be made by: Monday, Nov. 18
The below form should be sent to Laurie Hartwell at ltharwe@calpoly.edu.
Students must be nominated by a sponsoring faculty member. Students must indicate all funding sources being considered including club/IRA funds and departmental funding. Student travel associated with clubs and IRAs should first be accommodated within the club/IRA budget. Only travel which exceeds those budgets will be considered with a clear explanation of why this travel should be supported above and beyond the normal budget. Teams wishing to travel together should submit one form with all names.
Priority will be given to (in order):
• Students who are co-authors on a faculty research paper and who will give a presentation at a technical conference
• Students who are co-authors on a faculty research paper and who will present a poster at a technical conference
• Student researchers and/or club/IRA/senior capstone students competing in an international/national level competition
• Student attendance at a professional organization national conference
• Student attendance at a research conference
• Other types of student travel
