Salata Institute Travel Grant Program

Salata Institute Travel Grant Program is a reimbursement fund under the Harvard Salata Institute for Climate and Sustainability for Harvard students traveling on climate-related work. It covers conferences, professional development, field research, and faculty-supervised independent research in the United States and abroad. Awards go up to $600 for domestic or Canada travel and up to $1,000 for international travel, and groups of two to six students can apply together. The program is reimbursement-based, so students pay costs upfront and then recover approved expenses through the grant process. This program fits students who already have a concrete trip and a clear academic reason for taking it. Strong applications tie the travel to a specific research, presentation, or field outcome, because the fund is meant to offset direct costs rather than support open-ended exploration. Multiple cycles per year make it useful for conference trips and short fieldwork windows, especially when a poster session, site visit, or field interview depends on a small amount of travel support.
