CSW Spring 2012 Travel Grants
Funding Available for UCLA Graduate Students

Please Circulate!

The Travel Awards program assists UCLA graduate students with travel expenses related to their research on women, gender, and sexuality and enables them to present papers at professional conferences. Students may apply for a grant to fund travel that has occurred since the last award deadline (the prior 6 months) or travel that will occur within the following 6 months. Awards may be used only for transportation costs to and from the conference or place of research.

Applications are due by Thursday, April 19, 2012 at 5:30p.m.

In order to complete the online application you will need to provide the following:


-          1-3 page Abstract of research or conference paper given

-          Curriculum Vitae

-          UCLA Transcripts (unofficial are acceptable)

-          Confirmation that your paper was accepted to a conference (if applicable)
