  • Research Awards: Must be traveling to conduct research supporting a dissertation, thesis, or final exhibition.

 

Award Amounts:

  • Awards are granted in $600 or $1,500 amounts, depending on the qualifying expenses listed in the application.

 

Application Deadlines: Applications are reviewed on a quarterly basis. The application dates for the next cycle are February 1, 2025 – February 28, 2025. Travel dates must fall within this period: April 1, 2025 – June 30, 2025.

 

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.
