Travel Stipends
Travel Stipends provide reimbursement to students for costs associated with presenting at a professional academic conference
These stipends can be used towards in-person or virtual conferences.
The Office of Undergraduate Research will only reimburse expenses incurred by the student traveler. We do not reimburse faculty, staff, graduate students, parents, friends, etc. who pay for any part of the student's travel expenses (i.e., registration, airfare, hotel, etc.).
Please contact our Business Manager, Tori Clement at tgreen4@lsu.edu with any questions about Travel Stipends.
You must have your research or creative project accepted for presentation at a professional academic event, such as a conference or symposium.
Student conferences are not eligible for travel funding, with the exception of the National Conference on Undergraduate Research.
Student Requirements:
-
Must be enrolled as an undergraduate at LSU at the time of travel.
-
Must have a minimum 2.5 GPA.
-
Must be in good standing with the university. We will verify this with the Student Advocacy and Accountability office.
Must receive a letter of recommendation from your faculty mentor. -
Must meet the following criteria:
Be enrolled in the Distinguished Undergraduate Researcher Program with the following activities completed:
- Abstract Workshop
- 1 Professional Development Activity
- 90 Research Practice hours
- Must apply at least two weeks before the first day of travel.

| Proof of acceptance to present at conference |
| Letter of recommendation from faculty mentor - email to lsuour@lsu.edu |
Approved students will schedule a meeting with LSU OUR to complete the Travel Stipend Agreement Form and the university's pre-travel form (aka Spend Authorization). These forms must be completed before your first day of travel.
Within 4 days of returning from the trip, you must attend a second meeting with LSU OUR to submit the post-travel reimbursement form (aka Expense Report).
Reimbursement forms will not be approved until you have completed the Travel Survey form.
Whether on a poster or a PowerPoint presentation, students should acknowledge all funding sources for the project and travel.
1. Primary Support: For travel fully-funded by the Office of Undergraduate Research
- "Travel funding provided by an Undergraduate Research Travel Stipend from the Office of Undergraduate Research at Louisiana State University."
2. Partial Support: For travel partially funded by LSU OUR
- "Travel funding provided in part by an Undergraduate Research Travel Stipend from the Office of Undergraduate Research at Louisiana State University."
For posters and presentation slides, please include the our logo. You may use either the horizontal or vertical version.
If you were accepted to present your research at a conference that was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic, you can still list that presentation on your CV. Click this link to see how to cite a cancelled conference presentation in APA style: Citing cancelled conferences in APA style.
