Professor Raymond T. Kurdt Endowed Student Travel Scholarship Fund

The Professor Raymond T. Kurdt Endowed Student Travel Scholarship Fund is to support theatre student attendance at design and technology conferences such as the USITT (United States Institute of Theatre Technology) annual national conference, or other theatre conferences chat focus on design and technology. This Fund will help to reimburse some of the student cost (registration, travel, room and board) of attendance. All full-time matriculated students current in their SUNY New Paltz account and majoring in Theatre Arts with a concentration in Design and Technology are eligible.

Fall conference registration begins at the start of the fall term. Applications being accepted for Spring ’25 conference registrations, reimbursement will be provided with receipts after the trip has occurred. If you are traveling for a conference during the summer special conditions may apply – you may apply in spring for conferences occurring up to July 1st. For conferences scheduled after July 1st students should apply in the fall term. Students must be enrolled to receive reimbursement so funds for summer conferences may not be issued until the fall. Please contact npscholarships@newpaltz.edu if you have any questions.

To apply to this scholarship you must complete the conditional application that auto populates when you select Conference Travel in the General Application.
