Dean's Fund for Scholarly Travel
In order for financial support to be available throughout the entire academic year (September-May), the Graduate School Office divides the fund into roughly three equal parts, one-third being available for support of invited graduate students papers from Sept. 1 to Nov. 30, a second third from Dec. 1 to Feb. 28, and a final third from March 1 to May 31.
Deadlines for requests for support:
Sept. 1 (for travel during September through November)
Dec. 1 (for travel during December through February)
March 1 (for travel during March through May)
Please submit requests via e-mail or campus mail to:
Elaine Willey
Office of Academic Affairs
111 Clio Hall
Requests are reviewed, in part, on a first-come, first-served basis, and not every worthy request in every funding period can be granted. It is possible that we can exhaust the available funds in any one, or all, of the three funding periods. According to the schedule above, the Graduate School Office will hold all requests received up to each deadline, review them, and make awards. If funds remain after that, then requests received after the deadline will be considered.
Students who are awarded a grant will be paid at the end of the month in their regular stipend checks.
PLEASE NOTE: Funds in an amount roughly equal to those available during any one trimester of the academic year are available for conference travel over the summer (June, July and August) through the continued support of the Association of Princeton Graduate Alumni/ae (APGA). Students invited to present papers during the period June 1 to August 31 should apply for the APGA Summer Travel Grants. However, students who are invited to present at conferences whose dates overlap the end of the summer and the first trimester of the academic year (e.g., August 28-September 2) should apply for the Dean's Fund for Scholarly Travel for the first period of consideration.
