Student Travel Proposals

Travel Proposals

The Office of Undergraduate Research provides fellowships to help defray travel costs for CWU undergraduates who present the results of their faculty-mentored research or creative activities at conferences, meetings, exhibits, or performances. Students may apply for up to $500 per conference.

Only students who are the first author and presenter are eligible to receive an OUR Travel Fellowship.

Applications for Travel Fellowships are accepted three times during the school year. Please visit the deadline information page to find the appropriate deadline for your conference.

Important Award Information

Effective July 1, 2006, Undergraduate Research and Travel fellowships must be spent by the end of the fiscal year in which they were provided. The CWU fiscal year ends June 30th. All fellowships not spent by the end of the fiscal year will revert back to Graduate Studies and Research. Should a student require an extension, he or she can either re-apply in one of the next year's opportunities for applications (October 31st, January 31st or April 15th) or seek an extension on a case by case basis. If students receive a fellowship after they have expended funds for the travel or project, they may be reimbursed for those expenses for which they have kept receipts.

Expenditures are limited to those items detailed in the original proposal. Any significant changes to the proposed budget must be approved in advance by Graduate Studies. If you have any questions, please contact Roger Fouts (foutsr@cwu.edu) or Peggy Hill (hillp@cwu.edu).
