How to Request Funding
How to Request Funding
Effective immediately, please use this Google Form to submit any requests you have for travel funding support.
The Google Form allows you to request funding from the Department, your program, or both.
If you already have a travel funding request form that you previously emailed that includes your advisor's signature, you can submit that form to indicate that your advisor approves of the request.
The Google Form presents three options for receiving funding: 1) You are currently working as a graduate assistant and will submit receipts through Chrome River, 2) You have receipts you can upload with the funding request form and would like a check mailed to you, OR 3) You will not be providing receipts and would like a payment made for the approved amount to your student account. Each option has qualifying factors that are identified in the form itself (i.e. your status as a student, GA appointment, etc.) so please keep that in mind as you complete the form.
The Funding Request Form must be filled out with the advisor's signature (email indicating approval accepted in lieu of signature).
