The Department of Earth and Ocean Sciences Graduate Student Travel Fund provides support for conference travel and expenses to a program total of $300 for MASc/MSc students and $600 for PhD students.

All claims must be backed with appropriate original receipts and must be accompanied by a completed EOS Application for Graduate Student Travel Fund and EOS Expense Claim Worksheet.

Eligible expenses include:

• travel (economy airfare or other public transport, vehicle rental, or mileage at approved rates)
• accommodation
• conference registration
• meals

It is the student’s responsibility to produce receipts, and to submit properly documented claims. Students can only claim for conferences attended within the first 2 years of initial registration for Master’s students and 4 years for PhD students.

Completed claims must be submitted to the Graduate Secretary for processing within 3 months of incurring the expense. Claims will not be accepted from students no longer registered or on leave of absence.
