GSA Travel Grants

Currently, each graduate student* in good academic standing who will be enrolled at the time of travel AND at the time of reimbursement is eligible for one Travel Award of $400.00 each academic year if the student is presenting at a conference or is attending an off-site, non-UAB academic training session for which the student will receive UAB graduate course credit. The expenses are intended to cover any non-food/beverage costs associated with travel, such as:  registration, travel, hotel expenses, and professional poster printing fees.

*Note: Students enrolled in the Schools of Medicine, Dentistry, Optometry, Public Health, as well as students in 5th year programs are not eligible for GSA Travel Awards.  Please see the “Policies and Guidelines for GSA Travel Grants” for exceptions to this eligibility rule.
