Please note that if you are taking advantage of the faculty waiver program (outlined here), you are not eligible for this award.
A student can only receive the GSA Award for Conferences and GSA Travel Assistance Award once per graduate degree. If awarded, a student is reimbursed up to $1,500 for GSA Award for Conferences and $500 for the GSA Travel assistance Award.
Application Requirements

The GSA reserves the right to limit the number of applications to no more than 5% of the total number of graduate students in the same program based on the volume of applications received. In this instance, the DGP will assist in narrowing down the pool of applicants from their respective programs based on the highest quality of research. This restriction would be implemented after all applications have been submitted and evaluated.
