Here are some grants that I found for travel funding that we can all think about applying for. Here is the general link several of these came from: https://gradsch.osu.edu/funding/grants
0) Division of Astrophysics Travel grant to APS April Meeting. $600 (very easy to get on your first try, Brian won in Spring 2017)

1) $500 grant you could apply for from the APS Forum on Graduate Student Affairs. You'd probably have to get an APS membership, but that's not such a big deal.

2) Ohio State Ray Travel Award. What's cool about this one is that they really emphasize service record, which we can knock out of the park (because of ASPIRE). They'll allow you to apply for up to $1000.
