2015 Travel Award Application Process

2015

***The DEADLINE for travel award applications has been extended until 12 noon (EST) on Sunday, October 5, 2014.***

The 2015 Emerging Researchers National (ERN) Conference in STEM Travel Awards will cover the conference registration, housing, airfare, and ground transportation.

***For travel award recipients, AAAS staff will process the conference registration and make the hotel arrangements.***

A limited number of travel awards are available for students who are selected for poster or oral presentations at the ERN Conference. Please check with your advisor to determine if you should apply for a travel award.

All applications will be reviewed and evaluated by the following criteria: (1) academic achievement and (2) STEM career interest. For award finalists, we will contact faculty mentors to verify student GPAs and for an explanation of why travel support cannot be paid from their NSF grant or other sources.
