CHC Conference Travel Grants
Commonwealth Honors College students in Good Standing accepted to present at a national or international conference are eligible to apply for up to $750 to fund travel costs including airfare, lodging, ground transportation, food, and conference registration costs.
CHC students in Good Standing wishing to attend a conference relevant to their studies are eligible to apply for up to $400.
Students may submit one application per academic year.
Applications should be submitted in advance of the conference date. Applications for a conference the student has already attended may be considered at the end of the academic year if funds are still available.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis until funds are exhausted.
Multiple students working with the same faculty sponsor who wish to attend the same conference may see a reduction in award funds.
Recipients are required as a stipulation of this award to submit receipts for conference travel-related costs that meet or exceed the amount of the award via the post-acceptance feature of AcademicWorks.
Funds will be disbursed through the Financial Aid office and received as a refund via Excess Express. Any balance remaining on the bill will need to be covered before a refund is issued.
Please notify scholarships@honors.umass.edu to confirm you have submitted the application.
