Conference Travel Funding

There is a small fund for limited support to students presenting papers at refereed conferences for second and third year DDes students. Requests will be considered twice per year, in November, and April at meetings of the DDes council. Requests should be submitted to the Program Administrator.

Until students have passed their general examination and prospectus exam, they are not eligible to apply for conference funding.

While the merit of requests is always taken into consideration, preference will be given to those students who have not received prior funding. If additional funding remains after first-time awards are granted, requests for repeat funding will be decided on a case-by-case basis and support is therefore not guaranteed.
