Resources for Students

Overview

The Runstad Department of Real Estate PhD Student Travel Assistance program is intended to provide opportunities for PhD students involved with the department to become familiar with and participate in their academic field by presenting at conferences. The department is able to provide funds thanks to the generosity of donors supporting student services.

Currently, the Runstad Department of Real Estate master’s and bachelor’s students are not supported by this program.

Eligibility

  • Students eligible: Current UW PhD students who have been TA, or RA for the department or who have department faculty members on their advisory committee
  • Travels eligible: travel to participate in a conference as a presenter, discussant or session chair or to participate in a doctoral program as part of a conference
  • Maximum amount: $750 per award for domestic conferences and $1,000 for international conferences (award may not be for the full amount requested)
  • Awards requests are due a minimum of 30 days prior to the conference
  • Expenses eligible: Conference registration fees and travel (transportation, lodging and meal per diem)
  • This funding comes in complement of the Graduate School and any other program or department funding students may have access to. Students are expected to use Graduate School funding and other sources of funding first and have to commit that not seeking reimbursement for the same expense from several sources

Timing and Procedure

  • Pre-conference: Complete the PhD Student Travel Fund Request Form at least 30 days prior to the conference and submit it to the Assistant to the Chair (bestm2@uw.edu)
  • The student will be notified by email within 14 days of the outcome of their request
  • Post-conference: Within 45 days of completion of travel submit to the Assistant to the Chair (bestm2@uw.edu) the PhD Student Travel Reimbursement Form and attach all original receipts for expenses
