UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — The Graduate School and Penn State Global have announced graduate student travel grants for the spring 2024 semester. Applications are due by Feb. 9.
The main use of graduate student travel grant funds is to assist students in presenting their scholarly work at international conferences outside of the United States.
