Graduate Travel Funding
Graduate School Travel Awards Opportunities for Funding

The Graduate School offers awards for travel for doctoral research and for travel to professional meetings and conferences. Please note, students' support letters must be written by their advisor.

*All applications for Graduate School funding must be submitted at least four (4) weeks prior to travel to be considered*

Department of Sociology Travel Awards

The department will provide travel support for graduate student presenters at up to two (2) approved conferences in fiscal year 2025-26. Students are eligible to receive up to $600 for each major national or international conference, and up to $400 for each regional or minor conference. Please note that every year travel support is subject to change based on departmental budget.

*All applications for departmental funding must be submitted at least six (6) weeks prior to travel to be considered*

INSTRUCTIONS:

a) At least 6 weeks prior to the conference, send a complete electronic application to the Graduate Program Director in a single PDF document saved as lastname_firstname_travelwardapp.

c) Complete post-travel student procedures below. 

Prior to travel students must obtain a Texas Hotel Occupancy Tax Exemption Certificate for hotel stays within Texas. The certificate must be presented by the student to the appropriate hotel personnel. Baylor University does not reimburse for hotel taxes incurred within the state of Texas.

Student Procedures Following Travel

If you received funding from any Baylor University source, students must submit all receipts to the Office Manager immediately after travel. To ensure all documentation is correct, please read the following:

  • Submit all documentation (i.e. receipts, Expense Report) within 15 days after the travel took place. 
    • Failure to do so in the proper timeframe will result in no reimbursement from the Department of Sociology
