Travel Support

Every mathematics graduate student starting in the second year is eligible for $1,250 per fiscal year (begins July 1) to support travel to a conference. The allocation is based on start date of travel. 25% of current fiscal year travel allowance can be used for equipment and book purchases.

This departmental travel support is intended to be "cost-sharing," where the rest of the cost is borne by the student, the advisor, or some other source. Requests for support beyond the standard amount require a note from the advisor and approval of the department head.

Reimbursement Procedure

Questions about available funding/balance, eligibility, or cost object:

Request for Reimbursement

Create a travel expense report via the Concur system. Please follow the instructions listed here under “MIT Employees” and “Travel Reimbursement.”

The travel expense report must be submitted within 30 days after the completion of the trip.
