The American Elasmobranch Society
Student Travel Award
2010
Application Instructions and Form
Travel Reimbursement
Students presenting a contributed paper as a first or sole author during the 2010 AES meetings are invited to apply for financial assistance to attend the meeting. All applicants MUST be members in good standing of AES (dues paid by January 1, 2010) and in at least their second year of membership. The maximum award will not exceed $500. Students are only eligible for travel assistance once per degree. Assistance will be need-based (when funds are limiting and the society is not able to fund all applicants). In these instances priority will be given to students with full research results to present rather than preliminary analyses.
To apply:
Submit FIVE (5) paper copies of a complete application package (details listed below)
Or
Submit an electronic copy of your proposal to the Grant Committee Chair (below)
Electronic submission is preferred, if possible.
Application package requirements:
1) A completed application form
2) Itemized budget showing how the funds will be spent
3) An abstract of the paper or poster to be presented.
4) A formal letter indicating how the support will be used and why it is needed. An indication of other funding that has been applied for or secured should be included in this letter.
Completed applications (both mail and email) must be posted by 5pm March 26, 2010. Late applications will not be considered.
