Graduate Student Conference Travel Fund

Carnegie Mellon Architecture encourages graduate students to disseminate their work and advance their careers by presenting papers, posters and other research products at conferences, seminars, symposia and workshops. The Graduate Student Conference Travel Fund is designed to help support these efforts. All enrolled graduate students at Carnegie Mellon Architecture are eligible.

Guidelines
  • A student is eligible to receive one (1) Conference Travel Fund Award per academic year.
  • A maximum of $450 may be awarded for domestic conferences, and a maximum of $900 may be awarded for international conferences.
  • Reimbursements up to the above amounts are conditional upon submission of expense receipts after the student’s return from the conference. These receipts must be submitted to Alycia Barney (CFA 201).

Note: Funds are limited and are assigned based on availability.

Submission

Send the following application materials to David Koltas, Business Manager & Assistant Head, and reach out to him with any questions.

Additional Funding

Students are expected to obtain additional funds from their advisors and/or research sponsors, and to apply for any fellowships, travel funds or student volunteer opportunities offered by Carnegie Mellon or by the conference organizers.

The Graduate Student Assembly (GSA) also offers conference funding. Visit the GSA website for detailed information about the GSA Conference Funding application and selection process.
