Request for Student Academic Conference Funding In an effort to promote undergraduate research and professional involvement by our students, the Provost's office has a limited pool of funds available to support participation by students in conferences and other professional events. Students who wish to request funds must have their request sponsored by a faculty member who would complete the form below with the student. **Please note, given the limited nature of resources, generally the Provost's Office can support 50% of the budgeted costs per student, up to a maximum of $500 per student. ** Please note that use of funds must be consistent with the College's Finance Policies and Procedures which are posted on the MyCurry portal. Questions can be directed to Associate Provost for Academic Administration, Mike Bosco at michael.bosco@curry.edu.
