Travel Request Form

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. 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.
