Conference travel policies differ depending on your admission year. Please review the appropriate policy document for your cohort to ensure you meet all requirements and deadlines. If you’re unsure which policy applies to you, contact the HOS Graduate Programs Office for assistance.

Students must receive pre-approval from the HOS Graduate Programs Office prior to attending the conference to be eligible for this funding.

Conference Travel Funding Request Form

How Conference Travel Funding Works

HOS PhD students who are approved for the HOS conference funding will need to pay for all of their expenses and then will be reimbursed after the conference.  Students must submit all travel receipts to Josephine Ishou (cc Veronica Becerra on the email) within 10 business days after their travel is completed in order to be eligible for reimbursement. The HOS Graduate Programs Office will not be able to reimburse students if receipts are not provided. Therefore, please keep track of all travel receipts. Students’ reimbursement will go directly into their student account.  If there is any balance in his/her student account, the funds will be used to pay this balance and then the remainder paid out to the student.
