Travel Allocations
Travel Allocations are available to fund individual graduate and professional students who are traveling to an academic or professional conference that relates to their area of study and will enhance their professional development. Typically the funds have paid for conference registration fees, meals, transportation or hotel costs. Travel allocations are up to $500 for domestic travel and $750 for international travel. A student may only receive one travel grant during their graduate career at UW. If awarded, the funds will be transferred to a budget number provided by the travel coordinator in your department. You will make all travel arrangements and reimbursements through your department travel coordinator.
Who Can Apply For Travel Allocations?

Travel funds are available to any graduate or professional student at the University of Washington Seattle campus.

Attach a printout of the conference homepage or a conference brochure to your application.

Incomplete, late applications or incorrectly filled out applications will not be considered.
