FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES

If planning to present or to attend a conference and funding from the school or a grant is unavailable, Tufts University provides a possibility to partially cover some of the expenses.

Graduate Student Conference Reimbursement Fund

Each year, graduate students travel to professional conferences, both within the United States and abroad, to further their research and engage with colleagues in their respective fields. The Graduate Student Conference Reimbursement Fund is a highly competitive, merit-based award that provides funds (up to $300 or $600) to defray the costs associated with presenting research or to attend conferences and meetings where new research in their field is presented.

Graduate Travel Support Program

TEMPORARILY NOT AVAILABLE.
The program provides airline flight vouchers earned by Tufts University through the utilization of a rewards program linked to preferred vendors. Flight awards are subject to availability. Applications should be submitted as early as possible before a trip and are reviewed on a rolling basis.


Graduate Student Research Competition

Tufts University’s Graduate Student Research Competition (GSRC) supports the research of graduate students by providing funding for expenses including:

  • Equipment, materials, and supplies
  • Research participant compensation
  • Expenses of travel to conduct research
