## **Travel Support**

**Travel Grants**

Through the [Wagoner Scholarship for Study Abroad Program](https://graduate.rice.edu/academics/finance/wagoneraward) graduate students are eligible to receive funds to support research abroad. The program provides sufficient funds to allow a student to conduct research abroad for up to a year.

Additionally, the [Expanding Horizons Fellowship](https://graduate.rice.edu/expanding-horizons-fellowship-program), generously funded by Dr. Walter Loewenstern, provides students the opportunity to conduct research-related future travel that will benefit the local communities connected to their research while expanding the student's knowledge and experience.

**International Travel**

If you are traveling internationally, you should sign up with [Crisis24](https://global.rice.edu/travel-resources/crisis24), Rice's travel assistance provider. Some of the services offered include:

- Alerts of threats and disruptions - Set up notifications and stay informed!
- Risk Ratings and Location Intelligence of safety & security issues in countries, provinces, and cities worldwide.
- Awareness of Threat Zones - areas within cities and regions that are of higher risk than the surrounding areas - such as high-crime neighborhoods.
- Advice Sheets to mitigate a range of safety and security issues.
- 24/7 Hotline and Crisis Signal on the mobile app to use in times of need
