The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) at the University of Illinois is pleased to announce its Summer/Early Fall 2014 competition for conference travel grants to subsidize the presentation of undergraduate research at professional conferences.
Proposals should be submitted at https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/9442674 and the deadline for submission is April 30, 2014. In order to apply, students will need to have information on the conference dates and location, evidence that conference participation has been confirmed, estimated expenses, and possible support from mentors and departments. Please note that the travel grants are designed for students to present their research during the Summer (i.e., after Spring 2014 semester ends) and early Fall 2014 semesters.
In addition, these travel grants are not designed to cover the entire cost of student participation (some departmental or college contribution is encouraged) nor can the grant be used to cover post conference participation. Questions should be directed to ugresearch@illinois.edu.
Sincerely,
Office of Undergraduate Research
(Professor Paul F. Diehl, Director)
