Good Morning Geographers, Sustainers, and GIST Folks,
If you are planning on attending the 2024 TNGIC conference at Montgomery Bell State Park next month, be sure to check out the
UTK Office of Undergraduate Research Travel Funding. This funding is available for students who are traveling to a conference to present their research in some capacity. This can be either a traditional presentation, a map gallery, or a research poster.
Be sure to read the full description on their website to confirm you are eligible and applying the funds correctly. Note that you will have to submit the application and receive a reference letter.
As part of the application you will need to provide an estimate for your travel costs. I have created a sample Excel spreadsheet (attached) you can use to help calculate this total that includes conference registration, mileage, and lodging
costs.
