Student Travel and Research (STAR) Fund Guidelines

Arts & Sciences values student participation in research and conference presentations—bridging the gap between undergraduate courses and graduate studies or future professional opportunities. The STAR Fund provides grants to allow you to travel to an academic conference, present your first academic paper, or travel to perform scholarly research.
