Each graduate student who passes both the preliminary and candidacy exams will be awarded $1,000 of travel money for the remainder of their studies at Delaware. This money can be spent on a combination of approved travel at the choice of the student. |
The student can apply to use this money to pay the costs of attending scientific meetings or other educational/academic events. Forms for applying for travel approval are available from Debbie See. The form must be completed and approved before travel commences. In no cases will students be reimbursed for travel without prior approval of this form. |
In no case will any funds beyond the $1,000 total be paid. We recommend that you reserve some of your travel money to attend a national meeting for recruitment purposes late in your time at Delaware. |
Students who wish to return to their undergraduate school to help recruit new graduate students may petition the department for extra support. |
Students may also petition the Graduate Committee to receive partial funding to attend special training programs/workshops or clinics. Such requests must be clearly documented and will only be granted in unusual cases. |
