Travel Grant
Competitive travel grants are available to assist current and former (2010-2011) Life-Health Sciences Internships students with travel expenses to a conference or meeting. A maximum of $1500 will be available for each grant- the amount of the award is based on actual expenses.
Important note: An intern is only eligible to receive the grant once (for one trip).
Preference is given to interns presenting their work and those attending events with a career development component. Speak with your mentor about opportunities to attend conferences or meetings related to your internship, career, or academic goals.
Be sure to fill out the application in its entirety and submit estimated expenses. Application deadlines for the 2011-2012 academic year are September 16, January 13, and May 18. Decisions are sent to applicants within 1 to 2 business days after the deadline.
Notes for grant recipients:
-
Some expenses can be pre-paid through the LHSI office including registration, airfare, and sometimes the hotel reservation. Contact the director with any pre-payment needs as soon as possible.
-
You will be set up in the Travel@IU system within Onestart soon after your grant approval. Upon return, all receipts need to be submitted (including anything that was pre-paid). Save everything!

Indiana University Travel Policy: Travelers (employee and non-employee) will have 60 days from the return date of their trip in which to submit travel reimbursement claims. Reimbursements submitted after this 60 day period will be considered taxable income. After 120 days from the return date of the trip, there will be no reimbursement. Indiana University Foundation Funds may not be used for the reimbursement after this time period. (http://www.indiana.edu/~travel/policies/reimbursementpolicy.shtml)
