Determining Eligibility for $250 SNRE Travel Grants

Students must present original research conducted for the Interdisciplinary Ecology degree at a conference.
- You do not need to wait for notification of acceptance to the conference before applying for a travel grant.
Students must be registered as SNRE graduates during the entire time of travel. If your travel is during the summer term and you are not registered for summer, you must be registered during the preceding spring semester AND the following fall semester.
Students must be in good academic standing, as outlined in the graduate catalog, by the application deadline.
Students must apply for the IFAS travel grant.
Students are NOT eligible for a travel grant if they received one during the current or previous fiscal year, which runs from July 1 - June 30. For example, if you received a travel grant during the 2020-2021 fiscal year, you would not be eligible for another travel grant until July 2022, which is the start of the 2022-2023 fiscal year.

If ALL of the above apply to you, then you are eligible to apply for a $250 SNRE travel grant.
