- | * [[http://www.grad.berkeley.edu/financial/pdf/travel_grants.pdf|Graduate Division Conference Travel Grant]]: Up to 500 dollars for students "in the final stages of their graduate work" (you must have advanced to candidacy, but does not necessarily need to be during your last year). Must present a paper or poster at a conference. You can only receive this once in your lifetime. | + | * [[http://grad.berkeley.edu/financial/fellowships/|Graduate Division Conference Travel Grant]][[http://grad.berkeley.edu/wp-content/uploads/travel_grants.pdf|form]]: Up to $400 for students for travel within California, up to $600 for travel elsewhere in North America, and up to $1,000 for travel to the rest of the world.

- | * [[https://callink.berkeley.edu/organization/aavpgacademicopportunityfund/about| Academic Opoorunity Fund]]: Up to $500 for "academic travel that enhances student access to valuable educational experiences beyond the classroom" (e.g. conferences, observing trips). This is funded by the ASUC and is mostly directed at undergrads since grad student fees are given to the GA. However, they still do give money to graduate students (as of Spring 2014). Apply early since they seem to run low on funds by the end of the year (i.e. the $500 ceiling becomes a $100 ceiling). | ||
* Talk with Judey Miller about available departmental funds. In the past, every year the department granted a few 500 dollar grants to students with no other funding sources. This may or may not still be available. | * Talk with Judey Miller about available departmental funds.
