Research Travel Grants

The Gateway Program awards Travel Grants of up to $1500 (depending on availability of funds) to undergraduate social sciences majors who are actively engaged in a conference. This could include presenting a paper or poster, serving in a leadership role, or participating/been invited in other meaningful ways. Proposals are accepted on a rolling basis.

The Travel Grant may be used to cover expenses such as hotel costs, airfare or mileage, and registration fees for presenting at in-person conferences.
