* COVID-19 Travel Update*

Research and Professional Development Travel Grants (with physical travel) can now be approved here, provided that the student follows the required approval process described here for Domestic Travel, and here for International Travel.
- Pre-approval travel must be obtained, but is not required to apply for a grant. Students not on UMBC Payroll will need to work with their department to initiate a travel request. Please see GSA Travel Pre-Approval Instructions for Students on the Grants Website. If authorization is not provided to GSA, this will nullify the grant approval. Instructions on how to submit travel approval can be seen here.
- No Travel arrangements can be made before obtaining Travel Approval.
- All travelers on University-related travel are required to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 unless appropriate waiver documentation is on file with the university.
Please refer to the grants deadline guide below. Your grant will not be accepted if your event has already happened or will happen within the month that you applied.

Please double check your application - your application will not be considered if it is incomplete or missing information.
