Student/Faculty Travel Request

Small travel grants may be available to participants in the STEP^MT program.

To be eligible to receive these funds the student and faculty member must...

• have participated in research funded by the STEP^MT program (Academic Year Research, Summer Research, or STEP-IN).
  
  
• be presenting at the meeting or conference.
  
  
• submit a completed STEP^MT Travel Request Form at least two weeks prior to the event.

Note: the STEP^MT form is NOT a replacement for the standard MTSU Travel Forms and procedures. All STEP^MT funded travel must follow MTSU travel regulations and a Travel Authorization must be filed prior to out of state travel. For other forms that may be required for travel, please visit the Business Office Forms web page. For more details on MTSU travel regulations, please visit the Provost Office Travel web page.

It should also be noted that when making larger travel requests the faculty member should seek out additional funding sources prior to completing the STEP^MT form. Funding is also available at the Department, College, and University level and a request that includes a planned breakdown for the total travel (total travel = $1000, with $500 coming from my Department, $300 from the College, and $200 from STEP^MT) will be given priority over one that does not. STEP^MT will not commit funds to vague travel funding requests.
