Conference Funds
There are two types of Conference Funds: The SGA Conference Fund and Career Development Fund.
Important Notes (Please read before applying):
- Applications for the Conference Fund or Career Fund must be submitted at least 30 days before your departure date. We strongly encourage students to submit applications 45+ days in advance of travel.
- Application review takes 10–14 business days. Travel expenses purchased before you receive an approval email cannot be reimbursed. For this reason, we highly recommend submitting applications at least 45+ days before travel.
- All SGA Conference and Career Fund awards are reimbursements only. Funding is provided after travel once receipts are submitted—SGA does not prepay any travel expenses.
- You cannot use both the SGA Conference Fund and the Career Development Fund for the same conference or event.
- You may apply to either the SGA Conference Fund or the Career Development Fund only once per fiscal year(July 1 – June 30), or until funds are exhausted.
SGA Conference Fund
The Conference Fund is sponsored by the Student Government and is intended to provide financial assistance for undergraduate and graduate students traveling to a conference to present (paper or poster) for research performed at Georgia Tech.
Career Development Fund
The Career Development Fund provides financial assistance for undergraduate and graduate students planning to attend events that directly support their academic and research development. Funding is for students attending conferences, workshops, or training that are closely aligned with their major or research focus.
*We have reached 55% allocation of the Career Development Fund and have closed
applications for the semester. Per SGA policy we must reserve 45% allocation for the spring semester. Please check back at the start of the spring semester to apply.
