Undergraduate Research Travel Awards

To help students share their research, the Office of Undergraduate Research offers awards to cover travel expenses to conduct or present research or creative activity that has been accepted or submitted for presentation at an academic or professional conference. These awards are offered in the fall and spring, and usually range from $100 to $600.

Undergraduate Research Travel Awards

Graduate Professional Development Awards

Professional Development Awards provide support for students to attend major professional meetings at which they present an original paper based on their research conducted at the University of Texas. The Graduate School allocates travel funds to each program at the beginning of each academic year. The graduate adviser and graduate coordinator can nominate students for these awards, which are approved and administered by the Graduate School.
