Students who are traveling to conferences to present papers are eligible to receive funds to reimburse expenses up to a total amount of $350. Awards are made in the order in which applications are received. Students may apply for up to $500 per academic year. When funds allocated for a particular academic year have been depleted, students will be informed that no additional awards will be made. The conference agenda must be submitted along with the receipts. Reimbursement will be done only AFTER travel has occurred. All students who travel to present research are expected to participate in an on-campus event such as the OHIO Research and Creative Activities Expo and the Patton College Research Forum.
