Student Travel Grant Request

The College of Music & Dramatic Arts offers a limited number of student travel grants to assist students in their creative and research activity. Awards will be limited to a maximum of $250 for domestic travel and $500 for international travel and will be evaluated based on the merit of the proposal. Grants are available to both undergraduate and graduate students. We encourage all graduate students to also apply for Graduate Student Travel Awards (GTSA) through the Graduate School. Instructions for submitting GTSA proposals can be found here.

The most competitive proposals are thorough, complete, and make a compelling case as to why the travel will advance your educational, artistic and/or scholarly goals.
