Funding for Student Travel
The following criteria will be used to assist the CTAHPERD Executive Council in determining the distribution of resources for student travel. The CTAHPERD Student Travel fund has been set up to assist students who wish to attend a professional conference. Preference will be given to a student or group of students who has/have been accepted to present at that conference. Completing the application process in full will put the student in the current pool for funding but does not guarantee that they will receive funding. It is strongly recommended that students involve a faculty advisor in the application process.
