The CGSSG Undergraduate Conference Fund provides up to $350 in financial support for College of General Studies (CGS) undergraduate students who are attending or presenting at academic conferences.
Eligibility Requirements
- Currently enrolled in a College of General Studies major, with CGS designated as your primary plan, or enrolled as a CGS non-degree, standalone certificate student.
- Presenting at an academic conference or attending as a class or graduation requirement.
- Have not received a CGSSG conference grant during the current academic year.
How to Apply
Two forms are required:
- CGSSG Undergraduate Conference Fund Application — submit at least 3 weeks before your conference.
- SORC Reimbursement Form — submit within 10 days after your conference ends.
Important: Approval must be received before you attend the conference. Funds are reimbursed after the event once all required forms and receipts have been submitted.
Eligible Expenses
Funds cannot be used for travel upgrades, such as first-class airfare. Priority will be given to students without alternative funding sources, though all eligible applicants will be considered.
Keep your receipts. Receipts are required for reimbursement. Keep copies of all receipts for your records.
