Office of Undergraduate Research (OUR) Research Travel Awards provide up to $500 to undergraduate students engaged in research or creative projects who must travel away from campus to execute their project (e.g., to consult materials in an archive). Funds may be applied towards transportation costs, lodging, and/or meal costs, where permitted by University policy. The most updated travel guidance is available at travel.uconn.edu. International, university-sponsored travel by students to destinations with a Level 3 or 4 travel advisory requires an approved waiver from Global Affairs. Information on international travel and access to the travel waiver application is available here. OUR will not fund a student to travel internationally unless the student has secured all necessary travel registrations, waivers, and approvals.
OUR Research Travel Awards are available to full-time undergraduate students, in good academic standing, pursing a bachelor's degree in all majors at all UConn campuses. Part-time students may apply for these awards if they have completed at least 60 academic credits (including at least 12 credits at UConn). Travel associated with this award must be completed before the student graduates from their bachelor's degree program.
For full eligibility requirements, visit https://ugradresearch.uconn.edu/travel-awards/.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis and awards are made until funds are exhausted. Awards will not normally be made in support of summer projects, but applications related to summer work will be considered if funding remains after the application deadline. Funding for this program, which is intended to support students across the university, is limited. Multiple students applying for support for the same project or related projects may receive smaller awards. Students who have previously received support from OUR for their projects may receive smaller awards or lower priority for funding.
Submissions to this program are made via a third-party software application, SurveyMonkey Apply.
