If you are interested in applying for student leader conference funding, please complete this form and our funding committee will review your request. Applications will be reviewed at the beginning of each semester and approval will be sent to you with the amount of funding the committee has approved you to receive in reimbursement after your trip. Please keep in mind that travel funds are set aside for student leaders only and general conference attendance will not be considered. You must also meet all academic conference travel standards at the time of travel (see General Academic Policies and Procedures in the COMP Catalog for details).
OSA will consider covering the following approved travel-related expenses, so please be prepared to submit your request with the appropriate estimates for each.
- Roundtrip transportation to the airport and conference center location only (shuttles, Uber, Lyft, taxi, airfare*, mileage**)
- Lodging for approved guests only (hotel, Airbnb or similar rental)
- Conference registration fees
*The University will not reimburse for business/first class flights or travel insurance.
** Mileage is calculated from the University or your home if you live closer to the airport or conference center. The 2025 standard mileage rate is 70 cents per mile.
