Professional Engagement Funding

Eligibility criteria

Applicants must be enrolled students at the time they attend the conference. Applications must be submitted within the application period dates otherwise funding is not available. Students are limited to one conference funding or one professional development funding award per fiscal year (July 1–June 30) based on the award date of funding (not the conference date). Awardees must complete all post-event requirements outlined in the After the Event section. Awardees are selected through a lottery process as there is limited funding available. All applications will be closely reviewed to ensure that they are complete and align with the eligibility requirements before being entered into the lottery. In subsequent cycles, the application and award process may change. This is considered a partial source of support, and applicants should seek funds from other sources, such as funds from the engagement they are attending, as well as from their advisor, department, and/or college and identify in their application where they are seeking additional funding.
