Student Travel

Student Travel

All students requesting travel support funds must now complete the online Graduate Student Travel Application. After completing the form, please print and submit the form to your advisor for their signature & approval. A letter of acceptance from the conference from where you are presenting, must accompany your travel support form. After obtaining your advisor's signature please give the form to the program staff assistant.

Note: Travel Policy for students - Students are allotted a one time travel allotment of $150 from the Department for the fiscal year (July 1 - June 30) for conferences where they are presenting as long as there is money available. The Program may reimburse them up to $300 for their travel for the fiscal year as long as money is available. A letter of acceptance from the Conference they are attending needs to be attached. 

Applications for FALL conferences accepted August - November.

Applications for SPRING conferences accepted December - April.

JUNE conference expenses must be processed prior to June 30. Paying early for the conference registration or flight may help.

Students may only apply for 1-2 conferences (funding based on availability).

After travelling, students must then complete one of the two forms as indicated below:

Form for students who are currently employees or on assistantships

Form for Non-employees and Visitor Information Sheet

After completing the forms, please print and submit the forms to the program staff assistant and make sure all receipts are attached.

If you have not travelled since February 2008, you will need to go to www.ers.psu.edu and go under my information and add the department's  budget person as a delegate and check all the appropriate boxes on the form and be sure to save the form.
