Documents to Submit After Approval

Generally, you must submit your:

• Travel Grant Application

• Signed Expense Report
• Approval letter (I.e., Approval Email GPSA Sent You) with identifying information to your department’s travel coordinator.

Please be in touch with your department travel coordinators. The process of creating expense reports might be varied across departments.

Awardees should sign the Expense report to start the reimbursement process officially.
