The Graduate Student Council is proud to provide funding for graduate students to present their work at national and international conferences. Please note that all funding will come in the form of reimbursement, so save your receipts!

Note that there may be additional reimbursement for travel available from ASNMSU, but this is only for requests of greater than $500.

Please direct any questions about this conference reimbursement to the GSC Treasurer at gsctreasurer@nmsu.edu

HOW OFTEN CAN I GET FUNDING?

       Individuals may receive funding once per semester.

HOW MUCH CAN I BE REIMBURSED FOR?

• An individual may be reimbursed up to $500
• A group of multiple students from one GSO may be reimbursed up to $1000 with a single application.
  The eligibility requirements below still apply to each individual student, except for attending
  the 2 meetings, which any member of that GSO can do to fulfill the requirement. 

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?

      Eligibility

      Each person on the funding application must: 

• be a member of a chartered GSO
• be at least a half-time graduate student at the time of the travel
• attend two GSC General Meetings 
• perform at least 1 hour of community service within one year prior to the application for funding
• present at NMSU Graduate Research and Arts Symposium (Fall) or Research and Creativity Week (Spring)

      Application

• An official conference program or some equivalent proof of attendance and presentation is required.
• A brief letter from your advisor justifying the value of this conference.
• Copies of receipts of everything for which you are requesting funding. This can include registration fees, airfare, and hotel bills. The GSC can only reimburse for expenses with receipts paid for by graduate students, not their advisers, so use your own credit/debit card.
