Award Amounts:
- Awards are granted in $600 or $1,500 amounts, depending on the qualifying expenses listed in the application.

Important Notes:
- This is a highly competitive funding competition. Not all applications can be funded, even if eligibility requirements are met.
- Students should pursue funding from other sources and not assume that SRGC funds will be awarded.
- Applicants can submit applications for both the Research Travel Awards and Conference Presentation Funds, however, each eligible student can only accept one SRGC award in the fiscal year (July 1 – June 30).
- Most students will be funded by SRGC only once during their time as a graduate student.
Don’t miss out on this chance to advance your research and career. For more details and to apply, visit Student Research Grants Competition or contact srgc@grad.wisc.edu.
