Travel grant students study in Egypt, Summer 2010ATP Travel Grants

The purpose of ATP Travel Grant  is to support students who wish to present their research and creative work at regional or national conferences throughout the calendar year. Applicants must have already been accepted to present their work at a conference at the time of submitting a Travel Grant Application. They must also include notification from the conference organizers to this effect (ie. letter, e-mail). Applicants must be full- or part-time students enrolled at BSU at the time the travel takes place. However, students who have graduated may have up to an additional three months to complete their conference travel. Please note that ATP can only provide one travel grant per project for each student up to a total of $1000 for all travel.  Students receiving an ATP Travel Grant are not eligible for travel expenses to NCUR (National Conference on Undergraduate Research) in the same academic year.  ATP will fund the final, actual costs of reimbursable expenses not to exceed $1000. The ATP Travel Grant Contract must accompany the application form.  When completing the Travel Grant Application, please keep in mind that air and lodging are estimates.  Applications may be submitted at any time, but it is strongly recommended that applications be received at least six weeks prior to the proposed travel date. When more than one student is traveling to the same conference, we ask that a faculty mentor help coordinate the travel as a group with the travel coordinator.  The mentor should collect the student's application forms and submit them as a group.  Mentors are eligible to receive $150 in travel funds for each student they mentor up to a maximum of $450. Award notification will be made by email within one week of submitting the ATP Travel Grant Application.

After the student and faculty mentor receives notification that the Travel Grant has been approved, it is the responsibility of the faculty mentor to contact Mr. Gregory DeMelo at gdemelo@bridgew.edu (extension 2537) who will work with the faculty mentor in obtaining air and lodging.  **** All student/faculty travel must go through Mr. DeMelo ****  The grant must be approved before any expense is incurred.

Completed Travel Grant application form and ATP Travel Grant Contract should be submitted to Kathy Frederick, Office of Undergraduate Research, Room 200, Maxwell Library. Award notification will be made by email within one week of submitting the ATP Travel Grant application.

The Reimbursement Form for Conference Travel can be found at http://www.bridgew.edu/ATP/reimbforms.cfm
