Interested in presenting your research results? Wish to attend a conference to learn more about current research or prepare for graduate school? Wish to obtain funding to attend a conference? The Center of Excellence in STEM Education is committed to student and faculty professional development and growth. Check out the different types of conferences below as some are geared for students to present their research while others are aimed to develop students professionally and to network. Many of these conferences provide travel funds to students through a travel scholarship. So navigate to the websites below and start applying!! Additionally, priority funding is typically provided to students who present their research work; therefore be sure to apply to give a presentation whether it is in poster format or oral. Visit the websites and adhere to the deadlines for further information. Wherever you go, always network, network, network!!
Be sure to visit the remaining sites under the tab "Student Resources" to learn of other activities and our "Events Calendar" for upcoming workshops. If you have any helpful sites, please share your links and resources with us to improve the website materials for all; contact us to submit your contributions.
UTRGV Students: For funding opportunities, please visit the Student Government Association. To practice your talk, please visit the Hauser Communication Research Lab. If attending a conference, please download our Travel Form to submit university travel paperwork.
Travel Scholarship/Poster Deadlines
The travel scholarship application deadline is given for students to apply for travel funds to attend a conference. In addition, a poster deadline is provided which indicates the deadline by which a student submits his/her research abstract and other pertinent information to present his/her research at the conference.
