Students can now apply for a second round of student travel awards.
The application is due Tuesday, March 26, and we anticipate that award decisions will made by Tuesday, April 2. Approximately $40,000 in funds has been raised to support this effort, and individual student awards will be up to $1,500.
Students must be nominated by a sponsoring faculty member who submits the application.
Students must indicate all funding sources explored 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 (including engineering/CS education conferences).
• Students who are co-authors on a faculty research paper and who will present a poster at a technical conference (including engineering/CS education conferences).
• 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
The funding application is below as a PDF. Please submit all applications to Laurie Hartwell at lthartwe@calpoly.edu by 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 26.
