When faculty incorporate prospective student recruitment activities into their existing travel plans, the Graduate School will provide up to $1,000 to help support the additional costs associated with these activities. The supplemental funding is intended to encourage faculty who are attending conferences or other professional events to extend their trips by a day or two to visit universities and promote Missouri S&T and its graduate programs.  The funding is not intended to cover the entire cost of a trip.

• The Graduate School will provide you with: 
  • PowerPoint presentation about S&T
  • S&T Brochures 
  • QR code prospective students will scan to request more information about S&T (this is an extremely important step so we can capture the student information and follow up with them)

Requirements

• Faculty must:
• Identify the universities they plan to visit so that we can keep track of recruitment events.
• Officially request visit funds by completing this application form, preferably at least two weeks prior to travel. The Graduate School will be automatically notified of form submission.
• Collect contact information for prospective students they meet during these visits.  Upon your return, share the information with the Graduate School by email at grad@mst.edu so the Graduate School can follow up and support continued recruitment efforts

Funding Information 

• The academic department will receive the funds from the Graduate School to the department’s account identified in the application form.
