Students must be logged in with their Dartmouth credentials to access the forms. Once the student has applied for funding, the request will be approved/denied. Student requests for funding are evaluated weekly. If approved, the student will then submit the reimbursement request following the conference.
Funding is limited and funding requests are approved on a first come/first serve basis.
MD Students: If you have any questions about the funding process or reimbursements, please contact Medical.Student.Research@dartmouth.edu

APPLICATION GUIDELINES
Students are encouraged to seek additional funds from the following sources: their department, PI, and the conference itself BEFORE seeking funding.
You must apply at least 1 month prior to the conference where you are presenting.
Student presenters can receive conference funding up to the total amount of $400 for each academic year (e.g., July 2024 - June 2025). For example, if you apply and receive funding to present at a conference in September for $200, you can apply for the remaining $200 in order to present at a second conference in March.
Given budget limitations, funding will only be available for presenting (e.g., poster presentation, oral/podium presentation) at a conference. Conference funding is only available as a reimbursement. Students cannot request funds in advance to cover the cost of attending a conference. Students must be able to provide receipts documenting expenses.
Students who present a single research project as partners will each be eligible for a reimbursement. For example, if 2 students are giving a presentation together, each student is eligible for up to $400 per academic year.
Unfortunately, we cannot provide 100% reimbursement for trips. However, we encourage you to seek additional funding through your research department, grant organizations, and the conference itself!
Reimbursement is restricted to the following items: flight, mileage (based on government reimbursement mileage), taxis/rideshare/Dartmouth Coach, conference registration, hotel cost, and poster printing.
If you have any questions about reimbursement, MD students should see Han Tun in the medical student research office; MPH/MS students should see Chandlee Bryan in the Office of Experiential Learning.
DELIVERABLES
Sharing your Experience: Students who receive conference funding must submit, with the reimbursement request, a one-paragraph reflection on the conference experience within 1 month of attending the conference.
Documentation for Reimbursement: Reimbursement requests must be accompanied by itemized receipts attached to the form. All reimbursement requests must be submitted within 1 month following the conference.
