Student Travel Fund
Purpose & Use of Funding
Parsons encourages the creative and professional development of students. The Student Travel Fund was created to support activities of graduate students. Funding must be expended within the fiscal year (July 1 – June 30) in accordance with the university's Finance & Business procedures and Parsons' Expenses & Travel Guide. The university highly prefers to make arrangements on the student's behalf; if this is not possible (or if the travel has already occurred), students can submit receipts and be reimbursed for the amount they spent. Awards are up to $2,500 per applicant.
Activities that can be supported by this funding include:
- Taking part in a workshop relating to your area of study/research
- Attending or presenting at a professional conference
- Participating in a travel/study opportunity as part of a project or course
These funds cannot be used to support material or equipment purchases. The Parsons Deans Council will select awardees. Preference is given to students who have not yet received additional funding related to their coursework and research this year.
