Travel Awards
The Office of Undergraduate Research through the Division of Academic and Student Affairs (DASA) may provide Travel Awards up to $700 to currently enrolled NC State University undergraduate students to formally present their research at a regional, national, and/or international discipline conference.
Note - (Academic Year 2023-2024) OUR Travel Awards are currently suspended due to budgetary constraints. We are happy to assist students in finding alternative funds, such as with a department, college, or the organization/institution hosting the conference.
OUR Travel Awards

These awards are given on a rolling basis with no hard deadline. The number of available travel awards in any given academic year will be based on available funding.
