The Undergraduate Research Travel Fellowship Program is designed to assist undergraduate students from the University of Houston enhance their academic development and disseminate their research results. Moreover, the program aims to increase the visibility of the institution by supporting undergraduate student travel at national or international conferences. The travel funding is intended for undergraduate students presenting the results of their research or creative activities at meetings for a national or international audience. This funding is part of a broader Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) - the Learning through Discovery Initiative at the University of Houston.
Some of our most recent grantees attended the NationalConference on Undergraduate Research in March. There they presented their findings and networked with other undergraduate researchers from a wide spectrum of disciplines. Learn more about their trip and their individual research topics by visiting the Honors College Website.
Undergraduate students who have submitted an abstract for presentation at a national or international conference are eligible to apply. Applications must be submitted at least 30 days prior to travel departure date. The guidelines and application for 2011-2012 are valid for travel during Fall 2011, Spring 2012, and Summer 2012.
Students questions about the Travel Fellowship Program should be directed to Ms. Karen Weber (kweber@uh.edu). The UH Learning through Discovery Intiative is partnering with the Office of Undergraduate Research Programs to administer the program.
