Student Travel Awards

Currently, we have approximately $13,000 USD in funding for student travel support. Organizers expect support awards not to exceed $500; probably less for those traveling shorter distances.

Eligibility

  1. The applicant must be a pre-doctoral undergraduate student (MS), graduate student (PhD) or a postdoctoral fellow within three years of being awarded a graduate degree. However, this three-year limit can be extended due to special circumstances (e.g., parental leave).

  2. The applicant must be a current member of the SRS.

  3. The applicant must be the presenting author of an accepted abstract (oral or poster).

Procedures

  1. Submit an abstract for review by May 13, 2024.

  2. By May 13, 2024, complete the online application.
    A complete application will include uploading the following items as one (1), single PDF file:
    i. Your CV/resume
    ii. Letter of support from a mentor that includes the basis for financial need and statement of the importance of attendance to education/research.

  3. Award applicants will be notified on the same day as abstract acceptance notification (June 4, 2024).

  4. Travel award payment will be provided shortly after the conclusion of the summer school. Attendance must be verified.
