Enrolled MIT HASTS students who are presenting papers at professional conferences or who are engaged in research may request up to $400 from HASTS for travel expenses each academic year (June 1-May 31); in some years, this amount may increase depending on available funds. For the 6/1/23-5/31/24 cycle, students will have access to up to $1,000 for travel expenses.
Please refer to the directions posted on the HASTS Canvas Resources Page for more information. Approval is given by the Director of Graduate studies. Follow-up questions may come from the DGS or Stephanie Brandão Carvalho (sbrandao@mit.edu), who will also receive a copy of this request. Receipts should be submitted to Stephanie within 30 days of the end of the trip.
Please only submit 1 trip per form; do not submit multiple trips/conferences on 1 form.
If you need to make changes to your form, please reply all to the travel form email and explain the changes; the DGS will have to approve the changes.
When sending receipts, please reply to the email chain that includes the DGS approval and the submitted form.
