  ************* GSC Travel Grant Fund ************************
  Accepting Applications for Spring 2007
  Additional Funding Opportunities for Summer 2007
  ******************************************************************

Since Fall 2006, the Graduate Student Council (GSC) funded Travel Grants
to
support professional conference expenses of graduate students in all
Schools
throughout the Institute.

Travel Grants are allocated for conference travel expenses that are not
currently funded by  the student's Advisor or other MIT-related funding.
Travel
Grants provide a source of  travel "gap" funding for students who have
no other
means to attend a conference to present a paper or poster or participate
as a
discussant on a  panel.


The GSC is now inviting applications for the Spring 2007 semester, for
conferences between March 1, 2007 -June 15, 2007. One grant will be
awarded
per graduate student, per School with a ceiling of $1,000.

Additional funding for the Travel Grant program was approved by the
GSC's
General Council Meeting, and the GSC will now be able to offer Travel
Grants
for the Summer 2007 period as well.  Conferences being held between June
16,
2007 and September 30, 2007 will be covered in the Summer funding
period.
Applications for Summer 2007 Travel Grant will open March 1, 2007.
Application
deadline for Summer 2007 Travel Fund applications will be June 1, 2007.
