Funding for participation in non-academic professional conferences and events
Money for travel to non-academic professional conferences and events
The Career Center is pleased to announce that we have some modest resources available to support student travel to non-academic professional conferences and events.
Awards will be made until the funds are exhausted for the year. Only one grant per Carleton-enrolled student per year will be considered. Awards will be made based upon direct relevance to a students intended career path. The maximum amount of any award (per student) will be $400. Preference will be giving to students demonstrating financial need.
Carleton-sponsored events that already include funding or transportation are not eligible for further grant funding. Grant funding through the Career Center is not available for expenses related to academic research or coursework/comps. Test taking expenses are also not eligible.
To apply:
Fill out the application form.
Next Steps in consultation with Career Center Staff:
- Resume
- Complete the Student Travel Waiver
If awarded funding, you must agree to:
- Meet with a career coach in the Career Center within two weeks of the event to discuss next steps and career plans.
- Submit receipts to demonstrate total expenses incurred
- Provide a brief written reflection of your experience
Please note:
You will not receive the requested funding until you have submitted all receipts and complied with requirement outlined above. The amount you are given may not exceed the amount for which you were approved, and you will not receive more than what receipts show you actually spent.
