The Department of Communication provides some funds to support MA/PhD and PhD student travel to scholarly conferences for presenting research papers. Students interested in requesting financial assistance for conference travel may submit a request to the Department for these funds, following the instructions provided in the Department Intranet. Requests are considered three times a year.

To be eligible, applicants must meet the following criteria:

• Applicants must be students in the Department of Communication’s MA/PhD or PhD graduate program both at the time of application and at the date when they will be presenting their work. Presentation/application during summer quarter does not require summer registration.
• Applicants should have a full paper accepted. Serving as a panelist usually is not enough to qualify. If you are presenting a major, invited paper as part of a panel, please supply written information about the rigor of the selection process.
