Request Travel Funds

NOTE:  The guidelines for funding are currently under review.  Applications for funding during the 2013-14 fiscal year will be reviewed as soon as these revisions are complete, however, there may be changes to the funding structure for the next year, and you should not assume past funding is an indicator of future funding.  If you have questions, please email bryantt@apsu.edu.  Thank you.

This is the Application for Funding.  Please read the Guidelines for funding prior to completing and submitting your application.  Every student planning to travel must apply individually.  Completed applications, which include the required attachments, must be submitted a minimum of four weeks prior to the planned date of departure.  The earlier the better, as funding is limited.

You must also attach your completed travel authorization form, signed by both you and your faculty sponsor, at the end of this application or your application will not submit. Please read about the additional required documentation you  must submit.  The authorization form that is attached must indicate the actual expenses you expect to incur and documentation about the conference and/or proof of participation. Incomplete applications will not be considered for funding.

Among other reasons, applications with an attached blank or incomplete travel authorization, or without students and faculty signatures, with no supporting documentation, and submitted less than four weeks from date of departure will not be considered for funding.

Format: (xxx) xxx-xxxx
Please include specific location, such as conference center or hotel, and city and state.
Will you be presenting a paper or other research? Will you be attending a conference? Will you be participating in a competition? This information will be carefully considered when the decision is made to award funds.
List the other campus departments, groups or individuals providing funds for your trip. For example, major department, faculty grant, personal resources, etc. Please indicate how much each group is providing.
How will your trip aid your overall scholarly development? One to two sentences will be adequate.
Your application will not be considered for funding without including the Authorization of Travel Form WITH SIGNATURES. Please complete the form as accurately as possible. You must sign the form AND your faculty/staff sponsor must also sign. After completing this authorization form, with signatures, scan and upload it here. (Allowed file types: pdf, jpg, bmp, tif, doc, docx). Click this link for the Travel Authorization Form: http://www.apsu.edu/sites/apsu.edu/files/student-affairs/Authorization_Travel_Form_SA04.pdf You must also scan the conference or meeting form depicting the registration information and scan it with the travel authorization form and submit them both. If you are presenting or competing, please include or email this information. NOTE: The Travel Authorization Form is a business office form. It is required for faculty, staff and students who travel and use University funds so that there is approval of the intended use of funding; this is separate from the application for funds. The travel authorization forms are subject to state audit so University and TBR policies and procedures must be adhered to. For help, email mcelroyc@apsu.edu or call Student Affairs at (931) 221-7341.
Please indicate that you have read the Guidelines pertaining to student travel.

Thank you for your application!
