Travel Stipends

Simpson College student travel stipends are awarded to Simpson College students who complete research and who are presenting their research at a conference or symposium. Travel stipends are intended to offset some of the cost associated with traveling to present undergraduate research. In many cases, students and/or academic departments will need to share the responsibility of the cost associated with student travel.

Generally, travel stipends are limited to $500 per project and/or conference. However, if more than four students are traveling to the same conference, travel stipends can be up to $1000. Travel stipends may be used to reimburse printing of posters, conference registration fees, lodging, mileage, vehicle rental, and/or airline travel. Due to limited funds, some requests may not be funded.
