Graduate Travel Funding | Division of Mathematics

Conference Travel Grants

Conference organizers typically earmark funds to assist graduate college students with bills. Take the time to research these potentialities regardless that they is probably not talked about on the convention web page. When funds usually are not out there, one of many following sources could also be of assist.

Graduate School Travel Funds

Grants of as much as $700 (yearly) are open to analysis diploma college students to journey to knowledgeable convention at which they’re presenting. All eligible college students who apply obtain some quantity of funding. See the application page for extra details about eligibility necessities and directions.

Departmental Travel Funds

The division has a number of endowments to help journey for graduate pupil analysis {and professional} improvement. Calls for journey requests are despatched out thrice per yr.

Departmental funding for journey {and professional} improvement, when out there, might be based mostly on a first-come, first-served format with a cap of $750 per pupil (notice that the cap will not be per yr, however for your complete time of your graduate research).  

Requests for funding must be despatched effectively prematurely, and no less than one month earlier than journey. Note that they is probably not accepted if funding is presently unavailable or your advisor doesn’t help the request.

You could obtain journey funding for multiple occasion (and in numerous years) so long as the full reimbursement doesn’t exceed $750.

Since there’s a cap of $750 per pupil, your advisor could also be requested to approve that the proposed mathematical occasion (convention, workshop, summer season faculty) is vital sufficient in your analysis to warrant that you simply use your restricted funding.

Additional funds can be found for graduate college students of their last yr in this system. These funds may also observe a first-come, first-served format with a cap of $1000 per pupil (along with the $750).

1. Students who’re graduating (subsequent summer season) could request reimbursement for attending the Joint Meetings (the place job interviews are performed) or different job-search associated occasions within the US.  Requests might be routinely accepted if funding is presently out there.

5. Faculty could request exemptions from the above guidelines if there’s a sturdy purpose for different sorts of journey for his or her college students.

To apply, ship the Conference info and monetary journey plan to the Mathematics Graduate Field Coordinator [email protected], embody your advisor for approval. 

Research Travel Grants

Grants to conduct thesis/dissertation analysis of as much as $2,000 are open to analysis diploma college students, with precedence given to those that have or can have accomplished their A exams by the date of journey.

Direct funding is accessible within the type of International Research Travel Grants for Cornell graduate college students sponsored by the Einaudi Center and its constituent applications in cooperation with the Graduate School. Several types of further funding can be found by means of the Area Studies Programs. One of those is the Foreign Language and Area Studies (FLAS) fellowship.
