Student Travel Awards
Deadline for Applications is Friday, 22 October 2010
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 104 awards in 2010. 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
Deadline for applications is Friday, 22 October 2010.
Application for a travel award is made as part of the registration process.
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 student¹s candidature. Awards must be collected in person at the Meeting and will be provided as a cheque in Australian Dollars.
Students meeting the criteria noted above and currently enrolled at New Zealand institutions will be eligible for a Travel Award kindly provided by New Zealand Neurological Foundation and administered by the Australasian Winter Conference on Brain Research. Students will be considered for an award to cover their registration fee, and for those not based in Auckland, a contribution towards travel costs. Please mark the appropriate box on the application form if you are eligible for one of these NZNF Travel Awards.
Overseas students (non NZ or Australian) are also eligible to apply but their reimbursement will be no greater than that received for any Australian Student.
