My group wants to attend a conference, how does that work with SAF funds?
SAF funds can be used for traveling to a conference – if your group received “a travel award.” You have to apply for Travel Awards directly through the SAF committee by their designated deadline. If your group has been approved for a “travel award” you should contact the Coordinatorof Student Programs in the Office of Student Life at least one month prior to your conference. The Coordinator of Programs can help you fill out a travel advance form to cover lodging and food. Your conference registration may be paid for on the Pro-Card. However, you must pay for your flights “upfront” and get reimbursed for them. Student can also apply for travel funds via SAEF. UW Bothell students have the opportunity to apply for travel funds from the Student Academic Enhancement Fund (SAEF), established by the Services and Activities Fee Committee and administered by ASUWB. Grants of up to $1,500 are available to help fund students’ educational travel. Click to view SAEF information.
