Graduate Conference Travel Fund Request

The History Department strongly encourages graduate student participation in regional and national conferences as part of their graduate education. To that end, the Department has limited travel funds available to offset conference travel expenses. This funding is only available to those delivering papers at conferences.

In seeking funding for conference travel, you should apply to the Department first since many other funding sources expect matching funds from your department. After that, you can apply for funding from: 1) Arts & Sciences; 2) Academic Affairs; 3) Extramural sources such as professional organizations, conference conveners, etc. Remember to make your applications in this order.

The application process:

1. Complete and submit the application form.
2. Attach a copy of the email or confirmation letter from the conference organizing committee showing the acceptance of your paper. Scan if necessary.
3. Submit duplicate copies of the completed form and supporting document to Doug Johnson (djohnson@uwyo.edu) and Dr. Michael Brose (mbrose@uwyo.edu).
