Paying for your conference travel

biking across the mountains

Sometimes there's a little cash available.

The College of Arts and Sciences dean's office, the Office of Graduate Studies and Research, and the Office of Research and Creative Activity (ORCA) may offer funding assistance to students who have been accepted to present at a conference. You qualify as a presenter if you are the primary presenter or co-presenter; however, you only qualify for funding from either of these offices for one conference per year (July 1-June 30).

Of course, there are forms to fill out.

To be considered for funding from any of the above, you need to submit applications. If approved by any office, you'll receive an email with amounts and instructions.

You can find applications HERE.

It's "pay now, get cash later".

If receive travel funding from UNO, you pay all of your trip expenses yourself and submit receipts after the conference ends to the Psychology department. We'll get you reimbursed.

How can I expect payment?

You'll receive a check in the mail. The check will be from the Nebraska Administrative Services, State Accounting Division and it looks like this. It takes anywhere from 3-4 weeks after you turn your receipts in before you'll see the money.

What to do and when to do it. . .

After you've been accepted to present at a conference. . .

  1. Submit applications for funding. You will need the acceptance email from the conference you are presenting at.
  2. Watch for funding approval email(s).
  3. Make travel arrangements, pay your conference registration, book your lodging, etc.

While on your trip. . .

  1. Collect itemized receipts (examples of itemized can be found here). As of 2023, you do NOT need to keep meal receipts.

After your trip ends. . .

  1. Submit your trip summary (required). Upload one copy to NuRamp, and send one copy to Psychology for forwarding to the
    A&S dean's office.
  2. Submit your itemized receipts to the Psychology office.
