Awards of up to $500 will be given to current undergraduate students whose research/creative project has been approved for presentation at a national conference.  Only one travel award for each project will be supported, for example: if there are two students presenting one project, the award will be split between the students. Travel must take place from August 2012-July 2013.

Students must submit this completed form, a recommendation from the mentor supervising the research, a completed copy of the “NC State University – Non-Employee Travel Authorization Form (AP104)”, a copy of the abstract of the research, and a copy of the acceptance of the research to be presented.. The Office of Undergraduate Research will sign the Travel Authorization.  Although registration and airfare/train costs can be paid in advance by the Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR), the remainder of costs incurred will only be given after the travel has taken place (reimbursement for miles driven, lodging; no food costs can be reimbursed).  Only domestic travel will be supported.  Note that costs that exceed the OUR’s dollar limit must be paid by the student traveler, the mentors funds, and/or other sources.  Please submit the travel form below at least two weeks before travel occurs. 

Within 10 days after the event, submit for reimbursement the receipts that indicate full payment was made (zero balance due) and a photocopy of the student’s printed abstract from the conference.  Include the boarding pass stub from the return flight, bus or train.  The poster or the last oral presentation slide must acknowledge receipt of this travel award from the Office of Undergraduate Research, NC State University; similarly, a grant award to conduct research derived from the OUR must also be acknowledged. Awardees will be notified of their award within one week of application submission.
