In addition to completing the application for student travel, students must provide evidence of their participation at the conference. Evidence of having requested travel funds from colleges and departments is required in the application. In order to qualify for travel funds, students and their mentors must have previously requested student travel funds from (1) their respective colleges (e.g., College of Arts and Letters, College of Business, etc.) and (2) their respective departments. The Honors Program typically provides around $250.00 per student per conference but can, pending the specifics of the situation, provide additional funds. To help encourage Honors Program students to engage in original scholarship, the Honors Program will consider requests for funding to help students travel to academic and scholarly conferences WITH their academic mentors or advisors. The Honors Committee also expects that all syllabi submitted as part of new Honors Course proposals will be in compliance with all university-wide requirements (e.g., ADA, academic integrity policy, etc.).įor more information about the expectations of Honors Courses, please see this guide.
