The American Geophysical Union (AGU) announces that applications are now
available for student travel grants for assistance in attending the 2016
AGU Fall Meeting which will be held from 12-16 December 2016 in San
Fransisco, California.
The AGU Fall Meeting General Student Travel Grant provides some funds to
assist with travel costs. Awardees traveling from the U.S. and Canada
will receive a $500 award, and awardees traveling from outside the U.S.
and Canada will receive $1000 in funds. Funds are delivered after Fall
Meeting and are not meant to reimburse specific travel costs (i.e.
airfare, hotel, etc.), rather they are meant to help recoup costs of
traveling to Fall Meeting.
To be eligible to apply for a student travel grant, the applicant must
meet the following requirements:
-Current student member of AGU;
-Be either a high school student, 2 and 4 year undergraduate student, or
a graduate student;
-Successfully-submitted abstract prior to filling out travel grant
application (abstract reference number will be required on the
application); and
-First author presenting a paper or poster.
Preference will be given to applicants from demographic groups who
underrepresented in the sciences. After students are rated for
diversity, students who meet the following criteria will be selected:
-Students with sufficient additional funding resources to cover the
remainder of the meeting registration and travel expenses;
-Students whose abstracts show strong scientific merit to application
reviewers in their respective Sections/Focus Groups; and
-Students who thoroughly answer the short essay questions.
Application Deadline: 10 August 2016.
