Graduate Professional Development Travel Grant
The Graduate School’s Office of Professional Development established a new travel grant to reward graduate students who excel in professional development.

This award must be used for academic or professional development-related travel. There is no application process for this award, and winners will be notified by a representative from the Graduate School’s Office of Professional Development at the end of each semester. Questions pertaining to this award should be directed to profdev@purdue.edu.
All recipients will receive funds via reimbursement for travel expenses. To learn more about each of these awards, graduate students should visit https://purdue.ws/gradtravelgrant. For specific questions regarding these travel grants, please email fellowships@purdue.edu.
