PAF Travel & Conferences Application 2022-2023
*** Please ensure that you receive a confirmation email after submitting this form. We have had some issues with entries not being saved correctly; if you do not receive a confirmation email please resubmit the form. ***
Travel and Conference funding is available to individuals or groups attending conferences or attending field trips. If you are hosting a conference, please apply as a Project. Funding is awarded on a per-trip basis, as per the guidelines below.
Funding is awarded on a rolling basis and applications will be accepted as long as there are funds in the Travel and Conferences PAF funding pool. Funding will be allocated from the funding pool belonging to the year that the conference or trip takes place in, regardless of when applications are received.
Applications may be submitted after the conference or trip has taken place; however, funding is never guaranteed until an application is process and approved. It takes approximately three weeks to process an application. If the applicant chooses to apply less than three weeks before the conference or trip, or post-conference or trip, the applicant risks not receiving funding and as a result should consider alternative funding options.
Eligibility criteria:
• All of the general PAF eligibility criteria as described on the cover page
• Individuals may not receive PAF T+C funding for more than five applications within the PAF fiscal cycle
• A complete roster of those attending the travel/conference must be provided before the application will be considered.

Funding Information
Representative: Students shall apply to this category if they are representing UBC Engineering in an independently organized event. Examples of funding which would fall under this category include participation in a competition, voting on behalf of UBC-Vancouver, or presenting research at a conference.
Non-Representative: This category is for students seeking professional development opportunities as a participant, whether through trips, conferences, or other means. Examples include annual meetings of professional chapters, or technical conferences with no presentation component.
Year Trip: This category is for travel opportunities that are restricted to a particular discipline and/or to students in a certain year level. Examples of this include graduate trips which include site visits to industry partners. It is expected that these trips can garner more support from industry sponsors.
