The review committee evaluates proposals based on the applicant’s ability to construct a well reasoned, justifiable argument for the project, the feasibility of the project as outlined by the applicant, the appropriateness of the budget, the ability of the applicant to conduct the project in question, and the clarity of the author’s vision and goals for the project
The maximum amount awarded to any one proposal is $500.
All completed applications must be delivered to the Graduate Student Senate Office (218 Lindley Hall) by 4 p.m. on the following dates:

Graduate Student Senate Grant Travel Program
http://www..ohio.edu/gss/upload/travelappguidelines.doc
The Graduate Student Senate Travel Grant will support travel to present original work as well as travel for professional development workshops and seminars. The travel grant is intended to further graduate education through participation in seminars and conferences and foster professional development to further students’ careers. This grant is not intended to cover the full costs, but only to defray the high costs associated with travel.
Proposals are selected by lottery. Students applying for funding are not judged on the merit of their proposal, only whether or not the funds requested are appropriate under the grant guidelines, all necessary paperwork was supplied and the applicant is traveling to a conference, workshop or performance.
Each awardee will receive up to $300 to support his/her travel expenses.
Students MAY NOT apply for travel reimbursements. Thus, you must submit your proposal prior to your date of travel. The lottery will be conducted within two weeks of the above deadlines, thus, your travel must occur AFTER the dates listed above if you wish to obtain funding. You may submit a request based on the probability that you will attend a particular conference in the summer or early fall during the Spring quarter cycle, but no funds will be dispersed until you provide a copy of your acceptance letter to the GSS.
Students MAY NOT request funds for more than ONE travel event in any quarter.
All completed applications must be delivered to the Graduate Student Senate Office (218 Lindley Hall) by 4 p.m. on the following dates.
