The University of South Florida’s Graduate and Professional Student Council (GPSC) is proud to offer, through the generous support of Student Government, the Conference Presentation Grant Program (CPGP).

The conference presentation grant program offers money to USF graduate students presenting or otherwise actively participating at a conference.

We at the GPSC hope you will take advantage of this opportunity. Assisting graduate students make such presentations benefits us all by promoting USF to the academic community at large.

The Conference Presentation Grant Program (CPGP) is administered in the following manner.

The GPSC facilitates the program by ensuring the ease of the application process, answering student inquiries, approving any exceptions (due to late notification or extenuating circumstances), and by resolving any conflicts that arise.

The Student Government Administrative Services processes all applications, confirms receipt of applications, notifies students of any application errors, and notifies students when their CPGP check is available for pickup.

Therefore, if you have questions about the CPGP, contact the GPSC. Submit your application to the Student Government Administrative Service (CTR 203). DO NOT submit your materials to the GPSC, as this will delay the processing of your application. Once your application is submitted, if you have questions about its status, contact the Student Government Administrative Services (974-2402 or 974-3357).

The following are all necessary materials for the Conference Presentation Grant Program:

Travel Instructions

Please note: When retrieving the MS Excel files, you may receive a "disabled macros" alert. If this occurs, simply click "OK" and complete the form. ALSO: If you receive a request for a password when downloading the template, simply click "cancel" and proceed.

As you can see, the application process involves two phases: before travel and after travel. Due to State of Florida requirements, it is essential to familiarize yourself with ALL policies, instructions, and forms before beginning the application process. For this reason, do not wait until after your return from the conference to read the “after travel” instructions.

To ensure you follow all instructions carefully, you may wish to print out all instructions (including this page) prior to completing the application.

If you have any questions, concerns, or comments about the CPGP, please contact a GPSC officer, at gpsc@grad.usf.edu or 813-974-6939.
