  • Your travel grant application must be approved by eng-pgr-enquiries@glasgow.ac.uk before undertaking any trip if you are using your PGR School funds. If you are using alternative funds, you need to get the budget holder's direct approval.
  • Once your travel grant has been approved you will receive a confirmatory email. Please attach this to your expenses reclaim merged PDF file.
  • Expense claims submitted without supporting receipts will be rejected.
  • Expenses can be claimed as soon as you have an invoice or receipt showing the amount you have paid. 
  • Be sure that your expenses do not exceed the amount authorised.
  • You may claim up to a maximum of £60 per day for subsistence when an overnight stay is involved and £20 per day for day trips. (Receipts must be provided in support of claims for subsistence costs).
  • Only reasonable alcoholic drinks may only be claimed as part of a meal.
  • The University is unable to meet the cost of partners/children who accompany you on the trip.
