Funding
There are several sources of funding available to students in our program. These include:
Graduate Student Travel Policy
PURPOSE: The purpose of the policy is to provide travel funds to graduate students who present high quality scholarly research at professional meetings.
ELIGIBILITY: To be eligible for funding, graduate students must be enrolled part- or full-time and must not be on academic probation. Graduate students should apply for funding upon receiving written notification of paper acceptance.
FUNDING PRIORITIES: Within the budget restrictions of a given year, travel money will be allocated with regard to the following priorities and considerations:
Competitively selected papers will be funded at higher levels than invited papers.
- Priority will be given to papers presented at the yearly national or international meetings of AEJMC, BEA, ICA, and NCA.
- Funds are allocated on a per-conference basis. The amount allocated per conference will be the same whether the paper is single authored or multiple-authored.
- It is the intent of the policy to provide some funding, whenever possible, to any graduate student presenting a scholarly paper,
- Funding amounts will be reduced when the College provides transportation to the site of the meeting.
