300% increase in travel grant budget
Last night the GSO voted to greatly expand the travel grant program. We will now be awarding 40 travel grants annually (up from just 14 in previous years) thanks to a $15,000 budget increase from GRS. A summary of the changes can be found below. We will be updated the website and announcing the deadline for the next round of applications in the coming weeks.
