[funding]: College of the Environment Student Travel and Meeting Fund

Written by

The College of the Environment (CoEnv) supports undergraduate, Masters, and PhD students in furthering their careers, and in particular in connecting students to networking opportunities afforded by the presentation of their original work in meeting venues.  CoEnv supports two types of student attendance at meetings:

  • Individual Travel to Meetings:
    Maximums of $500 for North American travel and $750 for international travel; one per student per degree career; we anticipate making about 15 awards annually. The award amounts are modest to enable CoEnv to provide funding to a greater number of students. Students are expected to seek and receive funding from other sources, and students who do so will receive funding priority.
  • Student-Organized Meetings:
    Maximum of $1,500 or 20% of total expenditures, whichever is smaller; one per organization annually; maximum of 4 awards given out annually.

We would like to extend a warm welcome from the College of the Environment Student Advisory Council to all the returning students and those incoming to the UW for the first time. The Student Advisory Council acts as a liaison between the students (You!) and the Dean’s office of the College of the Environment. We act as the representatives for the Program on the Environment and other departments in relaying issues from the student community to the Dean as well as reaching out to the student community on behalf of the Dean’s Office. Please feel free to contact us with any issues or suggestions on how to improve the student experience in the College of the Environment. We wish you the best in the new academic year!
