UACES has a longstanding commitment towards assisting postgraduate students. The UACES travel scheme was established to provide financial assistance to students who would not otherwise receive ANY funding to pay for their travel.

UACES will pay up to 50% of your travel expenses for travel to/from a qualifying event. The following conditions apply:

* You must be a current member of UACES (please note that membership of the Student Forum is not the same as membership of UACES)

* You must be a postgraduate student

* Qualifying events will be listed on the Calendar of Events; they will be identified by the symbol

* Original receipts must be attached to your claim form – we cannot accept any travel claims which are not accompanied by original receipts, or for which the original receipts are needed for another purpose (i.e. no photocopies). The receipts will be kept by UACES.

* Payment is conditional upon attendance (therefore, claims cannot be processed before the event)

* The travel claim form must be completed in full (and be legible)

* Accommodation expenses are not eligible as travel expenses

* You must, wherever possible, use the most cost-effective means of transport available

* For necessary travel by car, UACES will pay a mileage rate (limited to 100 miles)

* The maximum amount to be reimbursed for travel within the UK is £75

* The maximum will be increased to £100 for those travelling either to, or outside the UK

* The minimum amount claimed must be greater than £5

* Payment will be by cheque in pounds sterling

* We will do our own currency conversions to pounds sterling

* Travel claims must be submitted within three weeks after completion of the event

* UACES reserves the right at all times to refuse any travel claim without having to provide any explanation whatsoever
