To help students defray expenses incurred in participating in professional conferences and other such scholarly activities, the Department of English is sometimes able to offer small travel subsidies. In asking for assistance with travel to a conference, the student must

1. provide evidence that his or her paper has been accepted at the meeting;
   
   
2. submit a Request for Travel Assistance Form to the Chair of the Department of English, preferably at the beginning of the academic year, when travel funds are allocated; and
   
   
3. observe all University requirements concerning travel, primarily the filing of a travel request form (available from the department secretary) with the University Travel Office.

N.B.: In order to qualify for travel assistance, the student must apply at least one-and-a-half months in advance and preferably at the beginning of the academic year, when travel funds are allocated.

A student may also apply to the Dean of Graduate Studies for travel assistance. For further information, see the Graduate Studies Office.
