Graduate students in the Department of Arts Administration, Education and Policy are eligible for up to $200 matching funds when presenting at a conference, until the funds from the Department run out. Since these are matching funds, students are required to obtain funds elsewhere first. Please go to the College of Arts and Sciences Graduate Student Funding page for information about applying for an Arts and Sciences Graduate Research Small Grant. The funds are available for conference funding each academic year (Fall-Spring). This department funding is only available to you if you 1) can prove paper acceptance; 2) have applied for, received, and exhausted external funding; and 3) have attended and/or participated in two AAEP sponsored (or co-sponsored) events during the academic year in which you seek funding. If you seek funding before you have had the opportunity to attend or participate in two AAEP sponsored (or co-sponsored) events, please simply list the two events you plan to attend that year on your plan of study.
When applying for the AAEP conference funding, you must upload the Conference Funding and AAEP Events page of your plan of study with your spend authorization in Workday. Failure to follow through on participation in the two AAEP sponsored (or co-sponsored) events that you have listed will impact eligibility to receive department funding the following academic year.
Students are to reach out to Michelle Attias or Nikki Davis with questions regarding conference funding and travel.
