Students who wish to request department funds to attend a conference or other professional development activity may apply for funding button below. Submitting an application does not guarantee funds.  Funding is limited and available on a rolling basis throughout the academic year. 

If funding is approved, the student agrees to write a one-page trip report describing what was learned, what contacts were made, and an evaluation of the value of the event. This will be due one month after the student returns from the trip.     

Questions can be directed to Kerri Poppler James (kjames3@umd.edu).
