UAF Graduate Student Travel Grant Application

Fill out the form carefully as incomplete applications will not be considered.
The UAF Graduate School announces a special travel grant opportunity for UAF students enrolled in a Master's or Doctoral degree program of up to $1,500.

This competitive grant is expected to partially cover expenses for travel that will substantially enhance your education. This grant will likely be less than the total expenses. The intent is to make it feasible for many students to travel, not to pay the entire cost for a few students. You are responsible for obtaining any additional funds needed, which can include personal funds.

These funds are provided by the Graduate School to support student travel in the current financial year. (July 1 to June 20).

It is required that you have set up a travel request in Concur.
