Another way that EPSO supports members’ development of scholarly and academic progress is through financial support to present research at conferences. The application for travel grants is sent out three times per year. All current EPSY students presenting research conducted as a graduate student are eligible for travel grants.
Travel grants are awarded to students who are presenting oral or poster presentations only, virtually or in person. EPSO does not provide grants for attending conferences as a participant.
Eligibility Requirements:
1. Current EPSY Graduate Students presenting research conducted while studying at TAMU.
2. Proof of acceptance to present. (If you have applied to present and have not yet heard back whether your presentation was accepted you can still apply and indicate that you are pending proof of acceptance.)
Application Requirements:
Proof of presentation (if you have applied but not yet received acceptance you can include the date you anticipate receiving acceptance)
