Questions regarding admissions and recruiting.
Postdoctoral Fellowship Travel (PFT) Awards provide supplemental support for postdoctoral fellows to attend major professional meetings at which they make a presentation (paper, poster, other appropriate form of presentation) based on their research or scholarly work. The Graduate School Office of Postdoctoral Affairs and Office of Research provide these awards in order to assist academic units to more fully fund postdoc travel for the purpose of presenting research unique to UTSA.
Award Amount
Graduate School Office of Postdoctoral Affairs in collaboration with the Office of Research will award funds up to a maximum amount of $750. All applications are thoroughly reviewed by committee to determine eligibility. Currently, awards are on a first-come first-served basis. Once funds are depleted no additional funds will be awarded.
Eligibility:
Funds are awarded to postdoctoral fellows who have been selected to present their research or scholarly work at a professional meeting, conference, or symposium. Only postdoctoral fellows at UTSA are eligible to receive this travel award.
The following types of presentations will be considered for funding:
