SPECIALIZED TRAVEL (ST) FUNDING

Fall 2009 Applications are due at noon on Friday, September 25, 2009

Specialized Travel Overview

The Specialized Travel (ST) fund, organized by the GPSA Specialized Travel Committee, was created in 1998 to help graduate and professional students with travel expenses for events other than conferences and not covered under the SRAC grants. This includes travel to interviews, clinicals, and anything that is not classified as a conference. Students may now receive $300 per academic year through the Specialized Travel fund. Academic years begin with Summer (June 1 to August 14), then Fall (August 15 to December 31) and end Spring (January 1 to May 31).
