Medical Faculty Association Awards
Travel Awards for Graduate Students & Postdocs
The Medical Faculty Association offers travel awards to graduate students twice per year. No award will exceed $600. These awards are generated by an endowment that was graciously given the University with the intent to subsidize travel costs of our highly motivated trainees.
Instructions: To submit an application for GRADUATE STUDENTS, please complete all of the forms in this packet and upload as a single PDF document here.
Instructions: To submit an application for POSTDOCS, please complete all of the forms in this packet and upload as a single PDF document here.
A completed packet should contain the following:

- Item B: Your completed biosketch
- Item C: A signed acknowledgment from your mentor
