Students must secure $100 to $500 in matching funds from their department, chair, advisor, or another appropriate source. Toulouse Graduate School will match these funds on a 1:1 basis. This means that students who have $100 in matching funds can receive $100 from Toulouse, whereas students who have $500 in matching funds can receive up to $500 from Toulouse.
Effective for 2020-2021 Academic Year: The full travel grant award will be administered through your department or college.
Effective August 2019: Students will turn in all receipts and documentation to their department for reimbursement. Please do not submit forms to TGS.
Please follow the instructions detailed in your award letter to facilitate payment. You will need to contact your department for reimbursement instructions. You will need to submit receipts to your department no later than 2 weeks (14 days) after you return from your conference. Travel grant awards are always reimbursed after you return from travel; we do not send funds in advance. If advance funding is needed, please contact the Student Money Management Center.
You will receive your travel grant award as a refund from Travel Accounting. Please contact your department representative for questions about your reimbursement status.
We do not roll applications over to the next evaluation period. You must apply during each period (within the same academic year that your travel occurred) if you wish to be considered for a travel grant award.
For questions on the Travel Budget Authorization (TBA) form, contact your Department
Travel Coordinator.
