Each year, the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geodetic Engineering provides travel scholarships to support graduate students presenting their research at professional conferences in their area of specialty. These funds come through departmental accounts, including the Bedford Scholarship Fund.

Until further notice, it is expected there will be $500 awards for in-person conference attendance and $250 awards for on-line conference attendance

Based on the type of submissions (in-person vs on-line), the number of awards will be distributed evenly across the funding periods outlined below.
