Graduate Studies Travel Grants
Please follow the current UW-Green Bay COVID Travel Policy
Grants are available for UW-Green Bay, degree-seeking graduate students to support activities contributing to the enhancement and completion of graduate degrees. Up to $250.00 will be awarded per request, and a maximum of $500 per student per year. Awarded funds can be used for travel to cover the costs associated with attendance at relevant conferences, workshops, or related educational events. Students presenting papers or research as a part of their travel will be given priority. All requests must first be approved by a graduate faculty sponsor from the student's program of study prior to review by the Graduate Studies Office.
Applications must be received 30 days prior to the meeting start date, but applicants are encouraged to apply as soon as possible to facilitate the direct payment of costs associated with meeting attendance.
Please fill out the Graduate Travel Grant Application, Budget Form* (spreadsheet download), and send to your faculty sponsor with all supporting documentation. After review and approval, applicants will then send all documents directly to the Office of Graduate Studies. Please contact us at gradstu@uwgb.edu.
