Before the pandemic, the Graduate College provided up to $350 for students to travel to a conference, and the number of awards given to a department depended on the department’s size. Since the pandemic, the Conference Presentation Award program has operated slightly differently, i.e., it now provides a department with funds, in increments of $350 depending on size, and the department may then disburse the funds for conference travel or for conference registration fees. Conference Presentation Awards are available only to students who will be presenting a paper, poster, or creative work at a conference they attend.
