UF/IFAS Graduate Student Travel Grant Application

As of the 2008 - 2009 fiscal year, the demand for these travel awards exceeded the funds available and the travel awards can no longer be on a first come, first serve basis. The IFAS Graduate Student Scholarships and Awards Committee have therefore developed a list of priorities to rank students applying for the travel grant, including: 

  • Students who are giving their first paper will be given high priority
  • Students who are presenting just prior to graduation will be given high priority, since potential employers may also be in attendance
  • Students who are traveling internationally, or to expensive meeting locations, will be given higher priority than, for example, students traveling to a regional or national meeting held in Florida
  • Students who are receiving less support from their department will be given higher priority.
  • Students who have received an IFAS travel grant previously will be given lower priority.
