Program Description
The A.H. Ismail Interdisciplinary Program Doctoral Research Travel Award competition provides funds to assist students in the presentation of their doctoral research at a national or international conference.
Qualifications
Any student who will participate in a conference during the period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2007 is eligible for nomination. Students who have received this award in previous years may compete, but they will receive lower priority for receiving awards.
Award
The Ismail Interdisciplinary Doctoral Travel Award is awarded by a committee of Purdue faculty. The amount of the award will vary, dependent on the conference destination and travel expenses. Recipients of the award are expected to attend the conference for which they applied. Barring immutable circumstances, such as travel advisories due to health or terrorist activity, substitutions will not be allowed.

Applications for the fellowship should be made through the interdisciplinary program. If the program has more than one nomination, the program head should rank order the nominees. Students should submit one copy of the following materials to the Fellowship Office: Graduate School, Young Room 160 or fellowships@purdue.edu:
1. travel award nomination form, signed by the department head;
2. a brief description of nominees research, written for someone outside the nominees discipline;
3. a letter of support from the nominees major professor, indicating his/her support of the nomination.
Registration Requirements
Recipients of the Ismail Interdisciplinary Doctoral Travel Award must be admitted to Purdue and enroll for at least nine credits in the fall and spring sessions and for at least three credits during the summer session, though students should confer with their departmental graduate committee chair.
