Monroe Scholars Program Conference Travel Grant
As Monroe Scholars attend conferences in their area of study and present their research, a limited number of conference travel grants are available exclusively for Monroe Scholars.
This fund is made possible by the Bargerstock-Mason Memorial Endowment and a generous gift from the Mason family.
The Charles Center is able to assist Monroe Scholars with expenses related to academic conference travel. The amount of funding disbursed may be less depending on the number of applicants and available funding. Additionally, the number of students funded each year will depend on the total demand and amount of funding requested by each student. This webpage will be updated if all funding is expended for the year. If necessary, students planning to present their research at a conference will be given preference for funding.
Apply Through the Research in Motion Application
