Undergraduate Research Program
Travel Proposal Process

The Undergraduate Research Program has funds available to support student presentation of research at local, regional, and national conferences. Funding may be requested by students to support travel only if they are presenting their research at the event. Students submit proposals to the Undergraduate Research Committee for consideration of funding. Maximum support available per student for 2012/2013 is $250. It is recommended that students explore ways to cut costs for travel by sharing rooms and carpooling or car rental when appropriate. Copies of receipts are required for any reimbursement.

If several students are traveling to a conference each student should apply for travel support. If funding is granted, each individual should submit a request for reimbursement itemizing their individual expenses and providing copies of the original receipts. Applications for funding as well as requests for reimbursement should be submitted by individual students not faculty. 2012/2013 application forms are available here. One copy of the request with signatures should be sent to the Undergraduate Research Program/115B Joyner Hall . An electronic version should be sent to research@meredith.edu. Request for reimbursement should be submitted within 14 days of completion of travel. Forms for requesting reimbursement are available here. 

Requests for travel support will be reviewed by the Undergraduate Research Committee twice each semester.
