Absences, Conferences and Summer Internships

For all types of absences: vacations, summer internships and travel, please fill

Graduate students’ travel abroad / absence from Technion for scholarship recipients and grants for travel abroad form
After filling in the relevant fields on the form, the form and accompanying documents must be forwarded to graduate studies coordinator at the Faculty.

Once you have obtained all of the relevant signatures, your form will be passed on for approval and will be returned to you, signed by the dean of the graduate school.

Please note that the department will make one yearly contribution of up to 200$ toward travel expenses for students presenting a paper or a poster. Each student will be eligible for one yearly contribution for presenting one paper/poster in a conference (once per academic year).

When submitting your travel request, please be sure to include all of the relevant forms:

• – Graduate students’ travel abroad / absence from Technion for scholarship recipients and grants for travel abroad
• – Application for Approval to Travel Abroad
• – Letter from your advisor endorsing your trip
• – The first page of your paper
• – Conference invitation
• – Application to use funding through International Science Liason Fund (if relevant)

Please submit all paperwork to the graduate studies coordinator roughly a month before your trip.

Summer Internships

Students wishing to take on summer internships elsewhere must fill Graduate students’ travel abroad / absence from Technion for scholarship recipients and grants for travel abroad  from Technion for scholarship recipients and attach a letter outlining the objectives of the internship with the advisor’s recommendation on it.

The letter should explicitly note whether you wish to freeze the scholarship during the course of your internship.
Please note that during August and September, there is no tuition charge. If your summer internship runs into July or October, and if it is related to your research field, you can request tuition exemption for these moths as well. Please include your advisor’s signature on the request.

When you have completed your internship and returned to study at the Technion, please offer official notification of your return through an e-mail to the graduate studies coordinator.

Please note that some scholarships and awards require a 12-month scholarship in the academic year. This means that going on a summer internship that includes the month of October may prevent you from being eligible to apply for these scholarships and awards.
