Marist encourages student involvement in research and scholarship as one of the most effective and impactful approaches to learning.

Limits:
Travel to conferences is provided only when a student project has been accepted to be presented as part of the conference program. Student names should appear in the conference itinerary as presenters. Travel grants will rarely exceed $800. Whenever possible, requests for travel to the same conference should be bundled and submitted together. The Office of Academic Affairs Student Research Grant can also be used to help support a research project independent of acceptance to a conference. Research grants will not exceed $400.
Shared Responsibility:
Funding from the Office of Academic Affairs Student Research Grant fund is not intended to provide 100% of budgeted expenses for students seeking to present at conferences or begin research projects. Students are encouraged to seek alternate funding, including from individual departments and schools, prior to applying.

Applications are accepted four times per year: September 15, November 15, February 1, and April 1. Grants cover research and travel activities any time of the year. Applications must be submitted at least 10 business days prior to research/travel activities. Applications submitted after completion of travel ill not be considered.
