Conference Travel Award

The Office for Undergraduate Research (OUR) announces the availability of awards (up to $500) to UNC-Chapel Hill undergraduate students to defray the cost of travel (not hotel, registration or food) to present results of their research or creative performance at a professional conference in their field. Eligibility: All currently enrolled undergraduate students who are in good academic standing and who completed their research under the mentorship of a UNC faculty advisor are eligible to apply. The travel must occur while the student is still enrolled at UNC-Chapel Hill. The research must be conducted under the advisement of an UNC faculty research advisor. Priority will be given to students who also present their work at the annual Celebration of Undergraduate Research symposium organized by the Office for Undergraduate Research and who have not previously received a travel award. The conference to be attended must be considered a “professional conference” according to OUR’s guide on the website.
