TAU Climate Crisis Initiative - Climate Research Travel Scholarships 

The TAU Climate Crisis Initiative is pleased to offer a limited number of travel scholarships to TAU students presenting climate change-related research at international scientific conferences. 

The maximum scholarship amount per student is $500. Funds can be put towards expenses for flights/rail tickets, accommodation, conference fees and other direct travel costs.  Funds will be reimbursed following the trip and according to university procedure (see attached Human Resources travel form for further details and conditions). 
Applications can be made at any point during the year and will be processed on a rolling basis, so long as funds are available. 
Applications will be reviewed by a committee established by the Climate Initiative. Decisions to award scholarships are at the discretion of the Initiative and will be based on the relevance of the conference and presentation to climate change research, available funding and university regulations.
