Graduate Travel

All graduate students who are in good standing have access to a travel budget.  Each student will have a five year travel allotment.  Based on the condition that the philosophy department’s budget remains constant, your travel budget for the five years in which you are receiving funding will be: $3000 total for travel for conference presentations, plus an additional $600 for the APA when you are on the job market.  In the case of the $3000, delivering a conference paper is a requirement of receiving funding.   
The expenditures of this funding are based on the following spending limits:

Conferences in the US up to $500
International conferences up to $1500
APA for job search up to $600

It is our expectation that this funding be spread out over the 5 years because our budget will not permit your requesting all your funding in one year.  All requests are subject to the approval of the DGS. 

We hope that this five-year travel allotment will allow you to track what funding is available to you and select the conferences that are most important to your professional development and job placement.
