Travel Grants
The goal of the Student Opportunities for Academic Research (SOAR) program is to facilitate student research in collaboration with a faculty mentor. SOAR sponsors a Travel Grant to defray costs associated with student attendance at a scholarly meeting where the student will present their research. The SOAR Committee invites students and faculty to submit proposals for the Travel Grant.
