Conferences & Funding

As you may know, Simon Fraser University is far from us—it’s outside Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada. Unfortunately, the budget for travel from Graduate Studies has been used up: “all of the Graduate Studies funds for conference travel have been expended for this fiscal year. Those students who have already applied and received approval for upcoming conferences will, of course, be reimbursed for their travel expenses up to the amount approved. Applications for funding to present at conferences in the new fiscal year – after May 31 – will be considered after April 1.”
