Student Travel Grant Programs

The Student Travel Grant Reimbursement affords students with the opportunity to present at in-state, out of state, and international conferences and receive a reimbursement for qualified travel expenses. Travel grants can help students gain new knowledge and skills and connect with professionals and peers in their field.

The College of Medicine Student Travel Grant Award is supported exclusively by charitable gifts from College of Medicine Alumni and Dean's Office. The purpose of the Travel Grant Award is to provide funding for College of Medicine students to travel and present at state, national and international conferences.

There are three (3) travel grants that students can apply for:

General Student Travel Grant supports student travel to present scholarly presentations at in-state, national, or international conferences.
Community Engagement Travel supports student travel to present scholarly work and research related to community engagement and service.
Global Health Travel provides support for students approved for global health research projects and participation in immersive scholarly experiences.

Please email @Smalls, Vonetta to inquire about the Student Travel Grant Application Process.

Food Assistance Program
- The Food Assistance Program was created to address food insecurity concerns experienced by MUSC students. Acknowledging that food insecurity is a spectrum, the Food Assistance Program is accessible to all students at MUSC. Students needing assistance will complete the online request form via the Student Programs and Student Diversity (SPSD) website. A member of the SPSD staff will make contact with students, walk them through the remainder of the intake process, and provide students with a gift card from one of our grocery vendors. The gift cards vary in amount and will be distributed based on each student's need and circumstance.
