Travel Grants
NSF Funded Student Travel Grant
The National Science Foundation provides funding to support the attendance of the conference of students. Students must be:
- An undergraduate or graduate student currently enrolled at a U.S. university, regardless of citizenship or visa status;
- A U.S. citizen if travelling to Edinburgh, U.K. from another country.
- Not a postdoc.
Application Deadline: Jan. 24, 2024.
Selection of the grants will be based on need and the degree of participation. Committee members and presenters of papers or posters will have priority. Since the total grant is a fixed amount, the amount that can be awarded to each student will depend on the number of awardees and will cover only a portion of your expenses. Reimbursable expenses include conference registration, airfare, ground transportation, and lodging only.
