Do you need to travel internationally for your graduate research or fieldwork?

The Mario Einaudi Center for International Studies sponsors international travel for individual Cornell graduate students. If you’re traveling between the United States and a host country for activities directly related to your dissertation or thesis research, Einaudi can help you get there.

Amount

Up to $3,000 to cover international airfare for activities directly related to your dissertation or thesis research. The award covers economy airfare only. No other travel expenses will be considered for funding. Einaudi travel grants do not fund travel to international conferences, symposiums, or language learning of any kind.

Eligibility

All applicants must be enrolled in an approved course of study at Cornell University leading to a master's or PhD degree. Graduate students or students enrolled in Cornell’s professional schools are eligible, with the following exceptions:

• Students graduating in May 2027
• Students who have not used 2026 awards

You may only receive two Einaudi travel grants during your time at Cornell. Groups are not eligible to apply, as grants are awarded on an individual basis. 

Travel must occur between May 1, 2027, and August 31, 2028.

Deadline

Apply by February 19 using the link below. Decisions will be announced in March.
