HELP! I forgot to get my check out slip at the hotel!
That’s okay! Call the hotel and have them you a receipt.
HELP! I attended an international conference!
Cool! You’ll need to provide proof of currency exchange rates and include mathematic formulas illustrating correct exchanges.
HELP! I am traveling to two conferences in one quarter!
Not a problem! GSFF does not limit the number of applications you can submit per quarter, as long as you don’t go over three in an academic year.
HELP! I went to a conference over the summer!
Good for you! We are currently piloting summer application acceptance, but if not you can defer until Fall.
