Travel Grant

The REM travel grant [Terms of Reference] is administered by the department and paid for by the Dean of Graduate Studies. Every year, all graduate departments receive money to support conference attendance, research travel, and small equipment purchase for their graduate students.

Students must apply for a travel grant before their trip. Applications are made on the REM Travel Grant Application Form. Students must keep all original receipts and request reimbursement after they return from their trip via the “Travel and Expense Claim Form”. Please remember to attach all original (itemized) receipts with payment information.

Students have two months from the date they return from their trip to submit the reimbursement form. Students who miss the deadline forfeit the money and it becomes available for other applicants.

All travel and expense claims for the three months of the spring term (i.e. January to March) must be submitted at the beginning of March for processing during the active fiscal year. Claims submitted later cannot be processed and will not be reimbursed. Students who need to travel in March they should contact the Graduate Program Assistant to discuss possible reimbursement options before their travels.
