<p>How can I apply for USC financial aid for independent summer travel? A friend of mines goes to Dartmouth and is able to receive up to $3000 USD for summer independent travel.</p>
<p>Does anyone know how I can obtain USC extra funding for independent travel? NOT FOR STUDY abroad, just indepedent personal travel.</p>
<p>For personal travel? Earning it yourself may be a good way to go.</p>
<p>For academic research…SOAR only covers the PWPP programs and domestic, but how can I obtain funding for research that is critical to my studies?</p>
<p>You can write a proposal and apply to PURF [USC</a> Undergraduate Research](<a href=“http://www.usc.edu/programs/ugprograms/ugresearch/fellowships.shtml]USC”>http://www.usc.edu/programs/ugprograms/ugresearch/fellowships.shtml) or SURF [SURF</a> > USC Dana and David Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences](<a href=“http://dornsife.usc.edu/surf]SURF”>http://dornsife.usc.edu/surf) for stipends between $1,000 and $3,000.</p>
<p>PURF = Provost’s Undergraduate Research Fellowships
SURF = Summer Undergraduate Research Fund</p>
<p>My student was able to use both for international research projects.</p>
