Funding to Conduct Undergraduate Research Travel Grant
The Undergraduate Research Travel Grant provides financial support to students who travel for the purposes of conducting research related to an ongoing research or creative activities project. Activities supported by the travel grant include but are not limited to data collection, fieldwork, outside mentor collaboration meetings, research training, and use of equipment not available at USF. Students who seek travel funding to present their research at conferences are NOT eligible to apply for the Undergraduate Research Travel Grant. Students seeking funds for conference presentation should apply through the Student Government Travel Grant Program. Travel Grant Application
