Individual Travel Grants

The United Government of Graduate Students (UGGS) awards funding to individual graduate students each academic semester to support travel to academic conferences, meetings, or other events related to the student's studies. Students are eligible to receive travel aid only once in their tenure as a CU-Boulder graduate student. This allows more students a chance to get funding. Please see the attached Application, Policy and example Essay.

Student Group Grants

The United Government of Graduate Student (UGGS) facilitates the efforts and initiatives of CU-Boulder graduate students working toward the betterment of the university environment and/or the broader communities in which they live and work through financial support for these student groups each academic semester. As such, UGGS offers a limited number of grants to CU-Boulder student groups that advance and enrich the graduate student experience at CU (Event Grant) or engage the greater community (Outreach Grant). Please see the attached Application and Policy.

Last Year's Winners

These dotcharts summarize the proportion of individual travel grant applications we receive and awarded to each college per academic year. Data are presented for the entire academic year rather than for each round of grants because conferences and workshops are held at different times throughout the year for different disciplines.
