Conference Travel Awards

Department of Social and Behavioral Sciences
Student Conference Travel Awards, 2023-2024

SBS encourages our students to present their research at professional meetings and conferences. In order to support this initiative, we have instituted two different student awards specifically to help offset the costs of conference participation.

1. SBS PhD Student Professional Development Funds

This funding is for PHS-SBS students who entered the program in 2020 or later.
Note that PHS-SBS students who entered between 2015-2019 are eligible for GSAS Professional Development Funds.

SBS encourages our PhD students to pursue professional development opportunities (including attending and/or presenting at professional meetings and conferences). In order to support this initiative, we have instituted a new fund specifically for doctoral students in the Department of Social & Behavioral Sciences to help offset the costs of professional development activities.  For more information please download the SBS Doctoral Student Professional Development Application

2. SBS Masters Student Conference Travel Award

SBS encourages our masters students (HSB 45, 65 and SM1) to present their research at professional meetings and conferences. In order to support this initiative, we have instituted student travel awards specifically to help offset the costs of travel to these conferences.
