Applicants are encouraged to apply as early as possible as funding may run out.
For travel between January 1, 2017 and June 30, 2017. Please submit the Spring 2017 Application for the Doctoral Student Travel Award found at:

Once the application is completed and signed by the student, student’s advisor and department head or his/her designee, the application should be returned to The Graduate School by e-mail (martha.marroni@uconn.edu) or in person at The Whetten Graduate Center, second floor, no later than six (6) weeks before the travel will occur. The application will then be reviewed and a decision will be emailed to the student’s department/program graduate coordinator.
