Student Travel Awards
Deadline for Applications is Friday, 17 October 2008
ANS student travel awards are made to students attending the ANS meeting and are a partial contribution towards their airfare costs. Sponsorship and encouragement of student participation in the annual ANS meetings was made a priority of the society as early as the 1982 AGM. Support has grown from 3 travel awards in 1984 to 71 in 1995 and 73 awards in 2008. The travel awards have been sponsored by ANS, industry and supporting Universities.
Awards do not provide full reimbursement but all eligible applicants will receive a travel award with the number of successful applicants therefore dictating the size of awards, which are scaled according to the distance to the Meeting location.
Eligibility and Application Information
Application for the travel awards is made online while registering for the conference
Deadline for applications is Friday, 17 October 2008.
The applicant must pay a registration fee and submit an abstract to the Annual Scientific Meeting as the first author to be considered for a Student Travel Award. Full-time or part-time PhD or MSc students may apply. Honours students are not eligible to apply for travel awards. A maximum of 2 awards may be received during a student’s candidature.
