Conference Funding Support

Warren College encourages outstanding Warren students to present their research papers and projects at educational and professional conferences. Warren College students can apply for funding support that can be used to subsidize travel and registration expenses associated with attending conferences. Warren students from all majors are eligible to apply. Applications will be evaluated by the Warren College Provost’s Office. The applicant must secure a brief letter of support from a UCSD faculty sponsor who should email the letter to waprovost@ucsd.edu.

Funding will be awarded via reimbursement; receipts must be submitted to the Warren College Provost’s Office after the applicant attends the conference.

DEADLINE: The 2022-2023 applications will be available soon.  Keep checking back for updates.

Triton Research & Experiential Learning Scholars (TRELS)

The Triton Research & Experiential Learning Scholars (TRELS​) program is sponsored by the Council of Provosts of the Undergraduate Colleges at UC San Diego and the Undergraduate Research Hub. TRELS empowers students to pursue intellectual opportunities beyond the classroom, by providing support in the form of funding and mentorship. This program is intended to expose students to experiential learning, including, but not limited to research, guided artistic or creative projects, and public service opportunities, under the guidance of a UC San Diego faculty member. There is a particular emphasis on serving students who may face obstacles in pursuing such opportunities.

There are three main initiatives supported through TRELS:

1. TRELS quarterly awards  (available fall, winter, and spring quarters)

2. TRELS summer research program (10-week reserach intensive program, June - August)

3. TRELS conference funding

Students may receive a TRELS quarterly and/or summer award up to three times, but must re-apply each time.
