Graduate and professional students

The Graduate Student Council continues to offer travel awards for graduate students to participate in virtual conferences or meetings. These funds may be used to reimburse students for virtual conference registration fees. GSC travel awards may continue to be used for travel to in-person conferences, but while K-State has a travel ban in place, students must have approval to engage in university-affiliated or sponsored travel.
