The student Conference Travel grant is open to students in Classical Studies, both undergraduate majors and graduate students in the MA, MAT, and PhD programs.

Students to be eligible for this award must:

• have a paper or poster on their research accepted for presentation at conference
• notify the graduate coordinator of planned travel at least eight weeks in advance and report:
  • conference details
  • proposed budget
  • other sources of funding (if any)

Students may apply for and receive the grant more than once during their years in the department.

Students are strongly encouraged to apply for support from other sources, such as:

For graduate students:

• College Arts and Humanities Institute, Graduate Conference Travel Awards
• University Graduate School, IU Travel Funding

For undergraduates:

• Hutton Honors College, Travel Grant (Juniors and Seniors)
• IU Undergraduate Research and the Office of Engaged Learning, Experiential Learning Travel Scholarship

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis and awards will be made until either funds are spent or until the end of the fiscal year.

The DGS of Classical Studies in consultation with the graduate committee will review requests and decide on awards and amounts of awards with these principles in mind:

• prioritizing awards to as many students as possible
• prioritizing presentations at the Society for Classical Studies
• limiting awards to up to $1,000 for the SCS and $500 for CAMWS and other conferences
• completing the review in a timely manner
• notifying applicant of award or denial, with a brief explanation, if denied
• including the graduate coordinator to participate in review of applications where appropriate

The Chair of Classical Studies will set a total amount of IUF funds to be awarded in each calendar year and communicate this amount to the DGS by the first week of the fall semester. Chair will also review assignment of the IUF account to this grant and make changes as needed.
