S-CAP

Have you ever wanted to attend a professional or academic conference? Do you have a paper you would like to present at a national meeting? Would you like to expand your networking opportunities? Are the travel expenses too costly? The S-CAP program is for you!

The Student Conference Award Program (S-CAP) is designed to provide undergraduate and graduate students the opportunity to obtain funding to attend conferences in their field of study. The maximum award is $600.00 and may include: round trip travel, lodging, airport shuttle or taxi fees, and conference registration fees. S-CAP does NOT pay for meals or other fees not associated with conference attendance.

Applications are accepted on an on-going basis for the semester and should be submitted no less than 1 month prior to the start of the conference. Award decisions are on a first-come, first-serve basis and are subject to both the availability of funds and the quality of the application. All applications are reviewed by a 5-member committee.

Applicants will be notified of funding decisions 3-5 weeks after the application is submitted for review.
