# Attending Conferences

From time to time, we can fund students' travel to conferences to present research. This funding is generally reserved for senior thesis students, grad students, postdocs, and staff, but exceptions can be made. **If you have papers accepted, you should always try applying for travel grants from your conference > SCAI > our group**.&#x20;
