Graduate Student Travel Grant
We are able to provide travel support to University of Minnesota Twin Cities graduate students in European studies. The travel grants are intended for travel to scholarly conferences. Graduate students in good standing can apply for up to $2,500 for travel to an international conference and up to $1,000 for North American conferences or the actual costs of the travel, whichever is less.
Only graduate students whose European Studies proposals have been accepted as conference presentations can apply. Awards will be processed as travel reimbursements.
