<p class=MsoNormal>The Texas A&M University-Commerce Undergraduate Travel
Grant Program provides funding for undergraduate students <b><i>presenting</i></b>
their research at a conference. Award amounts range from $100 to
$500. The Undergraduate Travel Grant Program is sponsored by the Provost
for Academic Affairs and the Vice-President for Student Access and Success. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>These funds can only be used for travel to an academic
conference at which a student is presenting their work. Verification of
the applicant’s role (for example, a formal acceptance letter; the
relevant page of conference program) must be documented. If the applicant has
not received confirmation, an explanation must be provided. All awards, even if
approved by the committee, will not be granted or paid until a confirmation
document is received. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Grants are competitive and are awarded based upon
availability of funding. Grant awards are application specific and can
not be transferred from one event/location to another without prior approval of
the Office of the Provost.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'>To apply, students must submit a
completed application form and verification of their work’s acceptance at
the conference/professional proceedings. The application form is not
complete without their advisor’s signature.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='text-autospace:none'><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Interested individuals should submit a hard copy of their
application to the Office of the Provost by March 5<sup>th </sup>, 2010.
Additionally, an electronic copy of the application should be sent to Dr. Ray
Green (<a href="mailto:Raymond_Green@tamu-commerce.edu">Raymond_Green@tamu-commerce.edu</a>).
For an electronic application, contact Dr. Ray Green.<o:p></o:p></p>
