The Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) at the University of Illinois is pleased to announce its Spring 2015 competition for conference travel grants to subsidize the presentation of undergraduate research at professional conferences.  (Please note, this is for conference travel only; applications for a grant for research travel is a separate application and process.) 

Proposals should be submitted at https://illinois.edu/fb/sec/7484726 and the deadline for submission is December 11, 2014. In order to apply, students will need to have information on the conference dates and location, evidence that conference participation has been confirmed, estimated expenses, and possible support from mentors and departments. 

Please note that Spring 2015 conference travel grants are designed for students to present their research during the Spring 2015 semester. 

In addition, these conference travel grants are not designed to cover the entire cost of student participation (some departmental or college contribution is encouraged) nor can the grant be used to cover post conference participation.  Questions should be directed to ugresearch@illinois.edu.

Thanks to the Office of Undergraduate Research for this information item.
