Professional Development Award Request for Sociology

Professional Development Awards provide support for students to attend major professional meetings at which they present an original paper based on their research at UT. The Department of Sociology also provides funds for research related activities.

You must be registered at the University of Texas at Austin during the semester in which the funds are to be used. Registration for the prior spring semester will fulfill this requirement for the summer semester unless you have graduated.

If request is for Conference travel, attach the following required documents in PDF form before submitting the form:

Copy of your abstract
Evidence that your abstract has been accepted for presentation (copy of the email, letter, or meeting program)

Once the form is submitted, please contact the Graduate Program Administrator to notify them that you have done so.

Name:

EID:

Email:

During which semester does your conference/meeting or research activity take place:

Fall Semester - Aug 25-Jan 15
Spring Semester - Jan 16-May 31
Summer Semester - Jun 1 - Aug 24

If you are requesting funds for research travel purposes only (and NOT conference travel), please state the reason for the funding request below, the dates for your travel, and the location. You can STOP filling out the survey now.

Conference/Meeting Information:

Meeting name

Meeting URL/website

Location

Meeting date(s)

Date of your presentation

Below, please upload your abstract and evidence of acceptance as two separate PDF documents. Please include your name in the file name (ie, YourName_Abstract.pdf, YourName_Acceptance.pdf).

For evidence that your abstract has been accepted by the conference DO NOT upload an entire conference program, only the page with info about your presentation/panel/poster session. A screenshot of an acceptance email or conference program works too, but you must save as a pdf before uploading.

Finally, be sure to click the "Submit" button within the question below before submitting this survey or the documents won't be received. If you don't see the image below, your documents have not been successfully uploaded and you must hit submit.
