Travel Grant

Through the generosity of the Melnick Fund we provide a Travel Grant of up to $600 for attendance of a Scientific Conference where an undergraduate researcher working with an MB&B faculty member presents a poster. 

To apply for the grant, please fill out the form linked at the bottom of this page. When submitted, please email Mary Readinger, who will forward it to the departmental Chair for consideration.  

Please note that you should apply for a Travel Grant at least 2 months prior to your anticipated attendance of a Scientific conference. 

When approved, Travel Grant funds can be used in one of two ways: 

  1. Travel arrangements, conference fees, and lodging can be made in advance by the Department Administrative Assistant.

  2. Alternatively the student can be reimbursed for such expenses along with meals by submitting original copies of the receipts to the Department Administrative Assistant.  

Travel Grant Application

The application form is only available to the Wesleyan community; log in with your Wesleyan credentials to access the form.
