Will you be presenting at this conference?*

During a student’s first year, the committee will fund reasonable travel requests to one conference, most likely one that is central to the student’s field, without requiring the student to submit, author, or present a paper. By a student’s second year, it is expected that students will be contributing to research projects in authoring roles. Third and fourth year students will receive conference travel funds for presenting research at conferences that is either sole or coauthored. The student must be a presenter to be eligible for funding. As students enter the job search process, the committee is also willing to consider requests for attendance at conferences where interviews are scheduled and consortiums allow them to make substantial contacts that will lead to successful placement.
