MURACE Travel Support

While MURACE generally awards up to $500 per student per academic year, NCUR, COPLAC, and GURC may not be part of the MURACE Travel Fund allocation limit. Students who attend any of these three conferences can apply for funding for another conference within the same academic year and receive their $500 award.


The following expenses may be eligible for reimbursement with MURACE funds, only if transportation and/or hotel is not provided:

  • Flights: email confirmation from airline required for reimbursement. Baggage fees can also be reimbursed (but not seat upgrades or travel insurance).
  • Ground transportation (taxi/Uber/Lyft/personal vehicle): receipt required for reimbursement.
