Plan II Travel Grant Information
NOTE: Plan II is transitioning to an online scholarship and grant application process. You will find instructions for the new Plan II Travel Grant application process below. Plan II will honor previously submitted paper applications for the Fall 2009 round of grants. Email Michael McFarlin at the address to the right with questions.
PURPOSE: Plan II Travel Grants are made for academic purposes such as:
- Attending a conference in your field
- Study abroad (any program, whether or not sponsored by UT)
- Gathering data in anticipation of a thesis project (see also Plan II Thesis Grants)
- Plan II does not help you pay for nonacademic travel.
WHEN TO APPLY: Plan II conducts two rounds of grant applications each year. For travel in the summer semester OR the following fall/full academic year, students should apply in the spring. For travel occurring in the spring semester, students should apply during the fall round. Watch the Plan2News for announcements, special application instructions and specific deadlines.
Fall 2009 Travel Grant Application Deadline is October 30, 2009.
AMOUNT: Awards typically range between $500 and $2,000. In most cases, Plan II will pay only part of your costs for the trip. You must therefore seek funds from other sources as well, but your Plan II application must show all of your expenses for the trip.
NOTE: Plan II Travel and Thesis Grants are not intended to cover the entire cost of your proposed travel or project. Only one type of grant will be awarded per student, per travel program or project.
General guideline for seniors: If you are enrolled in the thesis course, use the Plan II Thesis Grant, even if you are traveling to do research.
HOW TO APPLY: Apply using the College of Liberal Arts Online Scholarship Portal.
- If you have not used the system before, you will have to complete a one-time profile. Then you will see a list of scholarships for which you are eligible to apply.
For study abroad support, look for the link to "Additional Study Abroad Scholarships." After you click the link, you will see the Global A$$ist page where you will enter Program Code 090007, and choose the "Long" session in the drop-down menu. After you submit this information, look for the scholarship titled, "COLA: Plan II Study Abroad Scholarship."
- For domestic travel or conference travel support, look for the scholarship titled, "Plan II Travel Grant" for the current semester and year.
Plan II will announce when the Plan II Travel Grant application is available in the Plan2News.
