The department provides limited financial support for Computer Science Ph.D. students to present at conferences. Funding requests are reviewed on a rolling basis, subject to the availability of funds. If you have completed the survey and have not received a response within one week, please contact Teresa Hall directly via email.
See below under “Policy” to see if you qualify. If so, fill out this Travel Fund Request Form.
The department aims to support Computer Science Ph.D. students who have made archival contributions—such as refereed papers or presentations—accepted at conferences, where the student is listed as the presenter. Each student is eligible for funding once per fiscal year (July 1–June 30). The first day of travel determines the applicable fiscal year. The expectation is that students attend the conference in its entirety.
Requests for financial support must be submitted via the Travel Fund Request Form before the departure date of travel. All requests submitted after the departure date will be denied. Presuming the travel request is approved, a travel approval form will be provided along with further instructions.

You are highly encouraged to seek additional support elsewhere, such as through your advisor, the conference directly, or through one of the other sources listed below.
