The Cognitive Science Program is excited to announce the continuation of the Cognitive Science Travel Award Program! The application is now open to be used during the Fall 2025, Spring 2026, and Summer 2026 periods.
Students can use this award to either cover their flights to/from a relevant study abroad program or to travel domestically or internationally to present at conferences, workshops, and meetings. Students are eligible to apply for up to $1,000 for international and $500 for domestic travel. Any travel costs in excess of the allotment would be responsibility of the recipient. Other experiences requiring travel that are intended to further student’s education or experience relevant to cognitive science will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
Deadline: This award program operates with a rolling deadline. Once funds are exhausted, the application will close.
You can view all of the details, including eligibility requirements and the application, on the travel award webpage.
Questions regarding the Cognitive Science Travel Award Program may be sent to cogsci@uconn.edu.
If you are applying because you plan to study abroad: Priority will be given to students attending the Interdisciplinary Ethnography Field Summer School in Mauritius (not offered in summer 2026), the Neuroscience Study Abroad Summer Program in Salamanca, Spain, and UConn Brain & Behavior in Tel Aviv, Israel. The COGS Program will consider other study abroad programs on a case-by-case basis. All program details can be found on the Experiential Global Learning webpage. Note that most courses taken through these summer programs can be counted as elective credits towards the Cognitive Science degree.
