Graduate Office Subject: 2010 Travel Award Competition

Applications for the College of Arts & Sciences Travel Awards may be submitted online November 1-December 1, 2010. Awards are usually in the range of $300.  Preference will be given to students who have not previously received a Travel Award and for travel during the academic year 2010-2011 (August 1, 2010 -July 31, 2010).
 
Travel Award winners must provide documentation of their presentations in the conference program following their return from their travels. Travel and lodging receipts are not required. 
 
Please observe the guidelines below:
 
1.  Departments will announce the competition and set an internal application deadline and any specific department requirements.
 
The College does not require a letter of recommendation from faculty; however, students may include a letter in their application if the department requires it.
 
2.  Students will apply here beginning November 1, 2010:
                          
3. If a department requires a recommendation letter, the student is responsible for contacting the faculty member and providing faculty with the student’s network username here:
 
 
4.  Departments will send the names of faculty to be added or removed from the department's access to view student applications to the College Graduate Office, coasgrad@indiana.edu, by December 1.  Once a department’s internal deadline or the College’s deadline of December 1 has passed, the department review committee will internally view and rank the applications with an endorsement of 1,2,3 or Unranked for each applicant.  Departments should then nominate up to three applications indicated by a 1,2, or 3 ranking to the College review committee no later than December  5, 2010 . Only three student applications are eligible for College review. Please do not double rank nominations. For example, do not rank all three students forwarded as 1 rankings nor  two students with a 1 ranking and one student as a 2.
