BCLA Student Conference / Travel Funding Request

We invite students who are conducting research or attending academic conferences to apply for financial support from the Dean’s Office. Qualifying projects include:

  • Faculty-supervised research.
  • Research in association with a class.
  • Attendance at / participation in an academic conference.

Grants up to $850 are available to cover costs associated with travel to present research at a conference. Attendance at a professional or research conference, when endorsed by a faculty sponsor, will also be considered.

Grants up to $600 are available to cover costs associated with conducting research (including generating data through surveys, interviews, projects that involve subject payments, travel to archives, etc.).

To apply

  1. Complete and submit the application below.
  2. Have a faculty sponsor send an endorsement of the project / research / travel request to Dean Richard Fox at richard.fox@lmu.edu.

Applications will be accepted on a rolling basis. Priority will be given to those students who have not previously received funding during the current academic year.

Once your conference trip and/or research project is complete, please notify Sheryle Bush (sheryle.bush@lmu.edu) in the BCLA Dean's Office (Suite 4600) with a brief description.
