Venue funding with Augusta University

As graduate students, we know that sharing our research at conferences, workshops, and symposiums is a crucial part of our work. However, the costs of travel and registration can be a significant barrier, and finding funding can feel like a maze. The good news? The Graduate Student Government Association (GSGA) offers travel funding specifically to help you present your work.
