Program Description
The Graduate Student Council (GSC) Graduate Student Travel Program enables graduate students to

reimbursement fund.

Eligibility
Student applicants must be graduate students currently enrolled at TWU at the time the application is
made and the presentation travel must be completed within one academic year of acceptance. A
student may receive only one travel award per fiscal year (September through August) from this
program. The award may be used to support one student. The request to the Graduate Student Travel
Program must be supported by the student’s faculty mentor and department chair. This application
only covers registration fees for conferences.

Application and Submission Instructions
Complete the application form. Make sure all items are as detailed and accurate as possible. Make
sure to read the form carefully and fill out all portions according to the directions. The completed
application form must be signed by the student, faculty mentor, and department chair (or equivalent).
The application and photo release form must be emailed as .pdf documents to
gscounciltwu@gmail.com​. Any application that is handwritten, not signed, does not meet the
deadline, or does not follow the instructions may not be accepted.

Review and Notification
Applications will be reviewed by the GSC Executive Council & Travel Committee members
approximately two to three weeks after the deadline. Applicants will be notified via email of
acceptance or denial of funds within four weeks of the application deadline.

Reporting Requirements
Awardees who receive any amount of travel fund compensation must complete the following
procedures ​within two weeks of completion of travel ​to receive the awarded money. The awardee
must email GSC a completed W9 form, copy of receipt that cover up to the amount awarded, a
