Presenting at Conferences
Note: The department does not currently have funding for student travel. We hope to receive more resources to offer this resource to students again in the near future. In the meantime students who would like funding to travel to conferenes should apply for a Reed College Opportunity Grant.

Reed College Opportunity Grants
The most common use of this grant is to present research at a conference. Support can be awarded up to $1,700 for flights, lodging etc, and students can request a per diem to cover food and ground transportation. (Expert tip: be sure to budget carefully. You will not be awarded additional funds if your trip ends up being more expensive than originally budgeted.) Opportunity Grants are adminstered by the Undergraduate Research Committee (URC)
