Conference Poster Grants
Overview
The School of Public Health offers a limited number of Conference Poster Printing Grants to currently enrolled SPH students seeking to print a poster for presentation of public health research or scholarly work at professional conferences outside of UIC. This assistance is intended to help offset the cost of printing services for SPH students and to encourage participation in poster sessions at external conferences. Posters must be printed by UIC Creative and Digital Services. Grants are awarded based on application status and availability of funds.
We expect to award approximately 50 grants up to the amount of $100 per request in this academic year.
